The London club are said to be chasing the Nigerian playmaker who has been offered £48,000 per week to stay in the North West but the reports of a move to White Hart Lane have been further fuelled after the former Paris Saint Germain player bought a house in the capital some months ago.
However the foundation of these reports remains to be seen. Judging by his goal celebrations in Wednesday night's Carling Cup Semi Final win over Aston Villa the player is clearly settled in Lancashire and it is just another weak attempt at trying to part one of the Premiership's star players away from so-called "unfashionable" Bolton.
