Tottenham are ready to make a bid for Blackburn Rovers defender Christopher Samba.
talkSPORT says the Venky's owned club has reportedly been asked to begin paying off its overdraft by the bank and have been forced to withdraw contract offers for current stars and opt out of transfers they had lined up.
Spurs have been alerted to their situation and could attempt a coup over north London rivals Arsenal by signing the powerful centre-back from under their fiercest rival's nose.
Samba saw a bid from Arsenal rejected for him in January.
