Villa and Pompey target Spurs defender
Aston Villa and Portsmouth are preparing summer bids for Tottenham defender Pascal Chimbonda who has been told he has no future at White Hart Lane. (Daily Mirror)
The former Wigan Athletic player has had an indifferent spell at Spurs but just recently it has taken a huge downturn. He has never really seen eye to eye with Spurs boss Juande Ramos and he is set to leave the club in the summer.
Villa were said to be close to signing Chimbonda in January, but for whatever reason he didn't move to the Midlands outfit. Pompey boss Harry Redknapp is said to be a keen admirer of the 29-year old's and is also interested in signing him.
I personally think Chimbonda should leave Spurs as soon as possible and restart his career at either of the two clubs in question. He has the capabilities to be a terrific defender but unfortunately he never really displayed his best form at Spurs.
