Chief scout Colin Suggett has revealed that Spurs made an enquiry regarding Town's new Norwegian signing Vemund Brekke Skard during his trial spell with the Blues. Midfielder Skard played in a reserves friendly against the North Londoners the day before he was offered his 18-month deal by the club.

Suggett said: "The day after that game we had Tottenham on the phone asking who he was and what his situation was."

Skard, who recently underwent a groin operation, will be eligible to play from January 2nd as long as all the paperwork goes through smoothly.
