Two clubs negotiating, Brentford say no to Pritchard

TRANSFER TALK

The 10 clubs interested in Alex Pritchard from the Championship are being dwindled down with three strong players at the moment.

Spurs have rejected the initial QPR offer of a loan move with purchase option at the end of the season. We are not opposed to such a deal as long as the purchase option is a guaranteed one,but the figure were not high enough for our liking.

With so many clubs interested it is though we can get a better deal so can afford to hold out for more money. he is a proven performer at Championship level, a standout performer in fact. The Brentford fans would love him back but such a move has been ruled out by the Brentford co-director of football Rasmus Ankersen in response to fans forum questions. He explained that he was simply too expensive.

Newcastle United are been heavily linked but they haven't actually made a bid yet, just a lot of talk. Middlesbrough and Swansea City have both been linked but again, so far it is just talk. The two clubs actively negotiating are newly promoted Burnley and Brighton, managed by former Spurs full-back (1977-1990) Chris Hughton.
