Several Premiership clubs are chasing Portsmouth fullback Matt Taylor.
Sunderland and Middlesbrough are said to be interested in the versatile star who has previously been linked with moves to Reading and Aston Villa.
Both Boro boss Gareth Southgate and Sunderland's Roy Keane are tempted to test Pompey's resolve with a £5million bid, according to the Sunday Mirror.
Tottenham have also tracked former Luton left-back Taylor, who hit the back of the net nine times last season.
