Spurs look to wrap up £5 million defender within weeks
Tottenham are closing on the signing of Manchester City defender Richard Dunne after the player 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.
Dunne, 28, has been at City for over eight years now since his move from fellow Premier League side Everton. He has matured into one of the Premier League's best defenders after a difficult spell on and off the field a few years ago.
It is believed that Spurs will offer City £5 million for Dunne's services and that is likely to be accepted. This could nad probably will lead to a mass exodus from the City of Manchester Stadium after weeks of uncertainty about the manager, Sven Goran Eriksson's future at the club.
As a City fan myself, I will be gutted when Dunne finally leaves. He has simply been superb for us over the years and not one City fan would argue that point. I would be surprised if Spurs don't face some compeition for the player, between now and when the summer transfer window opens.
