Tottenham Hotspur to join £15m race for Real Madrid hitman Benzema

Sources in France have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are also in the hunt for want-away Real Madrid hitman Karim Benzema. The striker has been the subject of much transfer speculation, with rumours of numerous clubs such as Manchester United, Inter Milan and Juventus interested, and on the prowl.

With Tottenham Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp wanting to boost his strike force for next season, Benzema has been added to his wish list despite the players reported on/off temperament. With the likes of Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko not performing to the sort of standards the White Hart lane require, Redknapp has almost been forced to change his hand, especially where strikers are concerned.

It is also believed that Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, has given the Frenchman until January to show his worth to the first team, whilst he has been scoring a few goals, there are still apparent issues regarding training that the Portuguese manager is not happy about and he may end up offloading him to the highest bidder during the January transfer window.

Should Tottenham boss Redknapp be able to curb the players reported antics then Benzema may be worth the £15m the Spanish club would demand for the youngster. With Redknapp making no secret regarding Tottenham Hotspurs’ bank balance, a bid for the player before the start of next season would be very likely considering the talent of the young man.
