Tottenham manager Martin Jol has today stated his admiration for Newcastle midfielder Jermaine Jenas and Feyernood striker Dirk Kuyt. Spurs are known to be interested in Jenas and are believed to have had at least one offer rejected for him already. Talks of a swap deal involving Robbie Keane continues to gather pace and Jol admits Jenas is a player he likes. "I think he is an international box to box player," Jol told Sky Sports News. Jenas is apparently unhappy at Newcastle and is expected to leave before the close of the transfer window.

Jenas to Spurs?

Jol also stated his intrest in signing Dirk Kuyt from Dutch club Feyernood, after the sale of Fredi Kanoute to Sevilla. Dutch international Kuyt was a target for Liverpool earlier this summer, but now Spurs could offer him a route to England."There are so many players on our list and Dirk Kuyt is one of them," added Jol. "Any Dutch coach abroad knows about Kuyt - he is a player that anyone would want in their team. But there is a difference between making an offer for a player and getting him.


Kuyt to Spurs?

I beleive that Jenas and Kuyt would be quality signings for Tottenham but wheter or not they get both of them is another question. Newcastle are demanding at least £10million for their England international Jermaine Jenas, but Feyernood are yet to respond to the comments made by Jol about their Dutch international striker Dirk Kuyt. Tottenham look a really strong outfit this year with the arrivals of Dutch ace Edgar Davids and co and if they were to get any of these two players they could push for a top four finish.
