Spurs want Madrid's Heinze


Tottenham Hotspur are poised to bid for Real Madrid's Argentine defender Gabriel Heinze at the end of the season.

The 30-year-old defender played in England before for Manchester United but was sold to Madrid for seven million pounds in 2007.

Often deployed as a left-back, the Argentine can also operate as a central defender.

Heinze's contract with the Los Merengues expires in 2010 and English tabloid The People reported that Spurs are ready to put in a four million pound bid to take him back to England.

Dutch side PSV Eindhoven are also tracking the player's progress.

Heinze is said to be on a 60,000-pounds-a-week deal which falls nicely into Spurs' current wage structure.

Liverpool's Rafa Benitez attempted to sign the player in 2007 and might be keen to renew his interest if Daniel Agger leaves for AC Milan.
