Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp doesn't plan to bring Kasper Schmeichel immediately to White Hart Lane, should he win the race for the Notts County goalkeeper.
The Daily Express says Redknapp is ready to spend £2million on Schmeichel - then loan him back to Notts County.
Redknapp will battle Birmingham and Blackburn to sign County goalkeeper Schmeichel in the summer and wants to groom him as his future No1.
Schmeichel, son of former Denmark and Manchester United legend Peter, is certain to leave County, as the cash-strapped club cannot afford his £13,000-a-week wages.
