Tottenham are leading a pack of Premiership rivals in the chase for Middlesbrough winger Stewart Downing.
The Teesside-born ace had been in talks to prolong his current contract which has over two-years to run - but he is now set to leave during the current transfer window.
Tottenham have tracked Downing for a number of seasons and are again now in prime position to finally get their man, according to Skysports.com.
However, Everton and Portsmouth - who have also made enquires for him in recent months - are ready to compete for his signature.
