According to reliable sources, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in Celtic winger James Forrest and are prepared to offer the Hoops £7m for the winger’s services. Scouts from the North London club watched Forrest in yesterday’s game against St.Mirren in which he scored one of the two goals in the Hoops’ win and have informed Harry Redknapp that he could be a good buy.
Spurs are currently short of wingers and their creativity tends to be hampered if one of Gareth Bale or Aaron Lennon get injured.
Celtic have Forrest contracted to them till 2016 and manager Neil Lennon wants to keep the winger. But unlike the case of Gary Hooper, for whom Celtic rejected repeat bids from Championship outfit Southampton, Forrest could become more hard to keep if Spurs come knocking on the door.
