Ex-Man Utd midfielder Hargreaves emerges as shock Tottenham target

Tottenham are set to make a move for former Manchester United midfielder Owen Hargreaves.

Skysports.com suggests that the 30-year old ex-England international might end up at White Hart Lane after being linked with a number of clubs this summer.

Free agent Hargreaves left Old Trafford after his contract expired at the end of last season but any clubs who have shown interest in his services have been scared off because of his chronic knee problems.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is looking to strengthen his squad before Wednesday's transfer deadline and with Wilson Palacios on his way to Stoke City, Hargreaves could be the man to provide extra depth from central midfield.
