It has become increasingly difficult for Dawson to retain his place at centre half in the Spurs defence with the introduction of Jonny Woodgate, the return of Ledley King and the rumoured £5 million signing of Richard Dunne from Man City.
The Spurs number 20 joined the club in 2005 from Notts Forest and has made over a hundred appearances for the club since his arrival. However, it looks as though he may have played his last game for Spurs as Villa, Bolton and Newcastle all look likely to table bids of between £4 million and £5 million for the 24 year old.
