Spurs confident landing £8M Middlesbrough winger Downing
|
Tottenham are confident of landing Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing before the summer market closes.
The Independent says Spurs received encouragement that the player is ready to make the move and are confident of signing the winger for £8 million.
While Tottenham's offer last summer was firmly rejected by Middlesbrough's then manager, Steve McClaren, the White Hart Lane club are increasingly confident that they have a deal in place this time that will prove attractive.
Central to Middlesbrough's thinking is that in Adam Johnson, a highly rated 19-year-old capped for England at Under-19 level, they have an ideal left-wing replacement. Nathan Porritt, 16, is also expected to be challenging for the first team in 18 months.
