Tottenham are preparing a £7.5 million bid for West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green.

The Sunday Mirror says the 30-year-old looks a certainty for the England World Cup squad in South Africa - and cash-strapped West Ham appear likely to listen to offers.

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has been ­delighted with the progress made by his £12m Brazilian Heurelho Gomes under the guidance of goalkeeping coach Tony Parks.

But he made an unsuccessful bid for Manchester United's Ben Foster in the January transfer window.

It appears he is looking for a long-term replacement for Gomes with Green seemingly his preferred target.
