Bids for Harewood

The News of the World reported yesterday that Spurs, Newcastle and Portsmouth have targeted Marlon Harewood as the player has stalled on signing a new deal with West Ham.

The News of the World claims that Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp made a bid for Harewood last week and Tottenham's sporting director Damien Comolli has registered their interest.

The People say the Toon, desperate to sign a top-class striker, are preparing their own bid and could include their England U21 international James Milner in the deal.

These papers seem to have forgotten that West Ham are looking to build their squad and have a tough European campaign ahead.
