Spurs were heavily linked with a move for the former FC Twente attacking midfielder, who eventually moved to Fulham in a £10.6m deal during the last transfer window. He admits he is struggling to cope with the pace of the Premier League having started just one game...

You can always talk the Sunday paper speculation with a pinch of salt and this story is no different. Apparently Spurs are also plotting a swap deal for Fulham striker Bobby Zamora with Peter Crouch going in the opposite direction.
