Tottenham End Interest
By Jaymes Payten-Marsh

Middlesbrough’s chief executive Keith Lamb read out a statement at a press conference today. He said: "Tottenham have told us they have no further interest in Stewart.
"We want to make it absolutely clear that Stewart is not for sale as he is a major part of Steve McClaren's plans as we look to build on our second successive UEFA Cup qualification."
Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, was going to make the bid of £6.3 million on Monday, but decided to make the offer earlier today as he saw that Downing was becoming increasingly unhappy with the lack of understanding between the club and himself over a new deal.
As things look now, Spurs head coach Martin Jol may have to look at other options if he is to fill the position on the left wing.
Figo’s name has again been banded about as a possible signing, but as yet, no official talks have taken place between the club and his representatives.
So what do you think? Should Levy make another higher bid for Downing? Do we need really need him?
And what of Figo? Reports from Newcastle say that they couldn't afford his massive wages and so pulled out of the deal. His name just won't go away. Can Jol really be interested in him?
