Tottenham Send Scouts to Watch Portuguese Prospect in Action

After an impressive display in the 4-0 thrashing of Liverpool, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is already looking at ways to further strengthen his squad.

Spurs have bounced back from defeats to Manchester United and Manchester City and are now showing signs of the form that saw them push for a top four finish last season.

Tottenham scouts have twice been to watch Portuguese midfielder Eder in action for his club Academica Coimbra and are said to have been impressed with the young talent.

The 23-year-old holding midfielder has just one year left on his contract, but the clubs directors would rather cash in on the player during the January window.

Academia do not want the player to leave on a free transfer when his contract expires and would reportedly be willing to accept an offer in the region of £2million.

Spurs let Wilson Palacios join Stoke during the summer, but the club do still have Sandro and Scott Parker competing for a starting role as a defensive midfielder.

However, the club are still showing real interest in Eder and could decide to pick up the player in January.
