Tottenham are set to make a £9 million bid for star Palace striker, Andrew Johnson, according to reports.

Spurs boss Martin Jol has been keen on signing AJ for some time and has already had at least one smaller bid rejected by Palace chairman Simon Jordan.

Jordan has repeatedly stated he will not sell Johnson – but such a hefty sum could tempt him to cash in on a player who has made no secret of his desire to leave.
