Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is ready to meet Notts County's £2 million asking price for Kasper Schmeichel.
The Daily Star says Birmingham and Blackburn will battle it out with Tottenham boss Redknapp to sign County stopper Schmeichel in the summer close season.
But Spurs are leading the chase as they are prepared to allow the 23-year-old to stay at Meadow Lane next season.
County boss Steve Cotterill admitted: "I don't want to get rid of Kasper but he will get snapped up.
"He is a top-class keeper."
