Tottenham are the latest Premier League side reported to be eyeing Blues left-back Aaron Cresswell.
The 24-year-old, who recently signed a new contract until the summer of 2017, has regularly been linked with top flight clubs over the last 18 months with West Brom, Fulham and Southampton frequent visitors to Portman Road this season and Aston Villa having made an enquiry in the summer of 2012.
According to the Daily Mail recently appointed Spurs boss Tim Sherwood is keen to build his squad around a core of British players with a new left-back and striker amongst his priorities. Cresswell, Southampton left-back Luke Shaw and Burnley striker Danny Ings are said to be amongst those being watched.
A fortnight ago, TWTD reported that Tottenham were one of a number of Premier League clubs to have sent a scout to Town’s 1-1 FA Cup draw with Preston.
If Cresswell were to be sold, the Liverpudlian’s former club Tranmere Rovers would be entitled to 20% of the profit Town would make on the £420,000 they paid for him in the summer of 2011.
A Football League tribunal set a compensation figure of an initial £240,000 plus milestone clauses with only a £100,000 payment on promotion to the Premier League not triggered.
