Spurs’ first signing of the transfer window could be Cardiff City full-back Chris Gunter. If the move goes through the Welsh international will reportedly join in a £3million deal.

Cardiff chairman Peter Ridsdale said: “In our situation as a Championship football club, we have to consider anything of this magnitude.

“Chris has indicated he wants to talk to them and we have given permission.”

He continued: “I think with the price itself we would have had to consider it no matter what the situation was financially.

“Clearly given the challenge we’ve had with [creditors] Langston, it’s made the financial security of the club more acute that we do look at this sort of transfer.

“But if Chris had said he wasn’t interested in going, we wouldn’t have sold him.”

Yesterday the Welsh club had said in a statement on their official website the following.

“We can officially confirm that Chris Gunter is in talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a potential move in January.

“We had received a number of offers from Tottenham concerning Chris. When the figure reached our valuation of the player on Thursday night we then spoke to Chris to inform him of their interest. Chris then agreed to meet with Tottenham with a view to a permanent move to the London Club.”

“Being a Spurs fan as a boy and a player for so many years, it would be hard to sign for Arsenal. I don’t think the fans here would ever forgive me.”

Words from non-other than Sol Campbell. Perhaps someone should have reminded him of saying that before complaining of ‘verbal abuse’ from “some people may be a little bit disgruntled at how I left certain clubs.”

I do agree that ‘verbal abuse’ towards Campbell at matches should only go so far, however, if he expects Spurs fans to be silenced, then I totally disagree. After all, this is the man that once said that his ‘heart and soul’ was at Spurs.

I doubt Sol Campbell will ever realise the magnitude of his deception in the months leading up to his transfer to Arsenal, but for Spurs fans, we will always remember our former club captain as ‘Judas’.

• Portsmouth rival Spurs for Dunne?

We’ve been linked with a move for Ajax Amsterdam left-back Urby Emanuelson. Spurs are reported to have told the Dutch club to ‘name their price’.

We certainly need to improve at left-back with Gareth Bale and Benoit Assou-Ekoto out injured, we’re left with just Lee Young-Pyo.

Emanuelson is 21 and has played at least 30 games per season over the last two years for Ajax.

Born in Amsterdam, he’s played at both under-21 and full international level.

He’s score four times in his career, and as you can see below, he’s got quite a shot on him.
