Spurs Bid For Jenas

Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, apparently made the offer for Jenas last night. Levy is using the cash from the Arnesen affair on young, exciting players. A move to White Hart Lane would see Jenas link up with fellow young England stars Jermain Defoe and Michael Carrick.
Tottenham think they can offer Jenas an attractive move with the chance to build a midfield understanding with Carrick that could go all the way for club and country. The only problem would be where to place the other central midfielders Spurs seem to have an abundance of. With the likes of Pedro Mendes, Sean Davis, Michael Brown, Teemu Tainio and Tom Huddlestone vying for the centre spot alongside Carrick, Spurs would have to offload one or two of them.
Jenas has told close pals that he is worried about his future at Newcastle with the signing of Scott Parker and imminent arrival of Emre from Inter.
However, boss Graeme Souness is determined in keeping Jenas and the offer from Tottenham was turned down flat, although Tottenham will try again with a bigger bid or may arrange a swap deal involving want-away striker Robbie Keane.
Souness would like to play a five man midfield with three central midfielders and believes Jenas, Parker and Emre can all be accommodated in that formation.
Jenas was out of the Newcastle starting line-up towards the end of the last campaign, but Souness had previously named him captain and believes in his precocious talent.
If Tottenham can get Jenas, then it will go a long way in proving their ambitions.
