Spurs close in on defensive duo !

Tottenham are supposedly closing in on the signing of Richard Dunne from Man City and are also hoping to sign Anton Ferdinand this Summer according to reports in the Daily Mirror today.



Dunne who has been linked with Spurs for several weeks now is thought to be very close to signing at White Hart Lane. The Irish international rejected another contract offer from the club. Dunne's contract at City runs out next summer and it is now thought that City will cash in on their captain before he can leave for free.

The Londoners are also thought to be interested in out of favour West Ham centre half Anton Ferdinand. The club were heavily linked with the 23 year old last season, however their interest has decreased in conjunction with his playing time. Although, he would still offer great cover for the likes of Dunne, Woodgate and King.
