Tottenham are moving fast to ensure they have enough ammo to keep the resurgent Gunners at bay.

Despite manager Harry Redknapp’s health woes, reports were out in the British press today that Spurs are preparing a £10million bid for Fulham playmaker Moussa Dembele.

This comes close on the heels of David Beckham saying he would prefer to play in England when his US contract ends soon.

Harry has been chasing Beckham for some time now.

Fulham boss Martin Jol is aware of his former club's interest and said: "Moussa Dembele is a very gifted player. He gave Tottenham lots of problems. In a few months, maybe a year, he will be like Rafa van der Vaart.

Arsenal and Tottenham have joined the race to sign Le Havre teenager Jeremy Balmy.

Reports in France say the 17-year-old, who is available next summer, has caught the eye of Arsene Wenger and Harry Redknapp.

Valencia are also reportedly interested in Balmy.
