Tottenham boss Martin Jol is chasing Inter Milan veteran defender Marco Materazzi.
The People says Jol is preparing a £3million swoop for the Inter Milan hardman, 33, whose insults to France legend Zinedine Zidane about his mum and sister led to the astonishing climax to last summer's World Cup final.
Jol remains unconvinced by Ricardo Rocha and sees Materazzi as a player whose experience and tactical know-how would be welcome.
