Reports this evening have claimed that Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is keen on signing Blackburn Rovers defender Ryan Nelsen.
Redknapp admitted earlier today that he targeted a defender, but refused to be drawn on his identity.
Any addition at Spurs would depend on Sebastien Bassong, who is said to have been the subject of a bid from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Spurs are also reportedly close to signing Everton striker Louis Saha.
