Tottenham are planning a double-raid on Chelsea for midfield pair Lassana Diarra and Shaun Wright-Phillips.

The Sun says coach Martin Jol and the Tottenham board believe it is time to seize the initiative and leapfrog Arsenal into the Premiership's top-four elite.

And chairman Daniel Levy is prepared to put his money where his mouth is and bankroll the club's biggest push in the transfer market.

England winger Wright-Phillips is a long-term target for Spurs but midfielder Diarra is a new name on the list.

Chelsea will demand around £8m for Diarra while Wright-Phillips, 25, is rated at £10m and is also a target for West Ham.
