Nelsen if off the to US (wife is American). He was on a pay as you play deal with us - he was going to go to the MLS in Jan however Harry then came in so thought why not? (info came from a colleague of mine who is a kiwi and close friend of Nelsen's)

Gareth Bale has told Tottenham he wants to stay at White Hart Lane.

Spurs are resigned to losing playmaker Luka Modric after Chelsea's Champions League triumph consigned them to the Europa League next season.

But Bale, a target for Real Madrid and Barcelona, has made it clear to boss Harry Redknapp he is not looking to get away.

A Spurs insider told The Sun: 'Gareth wants to stay for next season. 'To say he is happy at the club right now is a bit of an understatement.'

Bale, aged 22, has no interest in leaving unless Tottenham want to cash-in on the ?ú40million-rated Wales international

Meanwhile, midfielder Tom Huddlestone looks on course to be fit for the start of next season. The 25-year-old made just four outings last term after suffering ankle ligament damage and had surgery in February.

But he came through a full session at the club's training ground on Tuesday along with fellow crocks Jermaine Jenas and Michael Dawson.
 
Spurs leading the way in chase for West Brom's Swedish star Olsson

Tottenham are leading the race for West Bromwich Albion contract rebel Jonas Olsson. The Sweden defender has a year left on his contract and is unlikely to extend his stay at the Hawthorns. Olsson’s impressive season has attracted interest from Aston Villa, Fulham, Everton, West Ham and Galatasaray.

But Tottenham are believed to be favourites for his signature as they look to bolster their often injury-plagued central defence. Reports in Sweden claim White Hart Lane boss Harry Redknapp has already spoken to former West Bromwich boss Roy Hodgson about the defender’s merits.

Olsson told Sport Expressen: ‘I have a year left and have started to think about the future. ‘I’m very happy with West Brom, the city, and like the way the club is going. At the same time, it would be fun to try something new, but we’ll see what happens.

‘I have been here for four years and feel that, if I am to move back to Sweden after my career, perhaps you shouldn’t spend too much time in one place.

‘If I were in Birmingham for seven or eight years, it will be harder to move back to Sweden when the time comes, so there are many factors to consider.’

Olsson, who joined West Brom from Dutch side NEC Nijmegen for around ?ú800,000 in 2008, is expected to play a key role for Sweden at Euro 2012.

I think this was posted in another thread but it's great to hear that. That's how to squash any speculation. Well done Gareth.

Hooray for Harry! Loic Remy WILL still join Spurs - but only if Redknapp stays as boss
Tottenham are also on the verge of completing a deal for Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen

Loic Remy still wants to join Spurs despite their failure to reach the Champions League - as long as Harry Redknapp stays as boss.

The ?ú22million-rated striker’s stance leaves the north Londoners on the verge of a second major transfer coup. Chairman Daniel Levy is already in Amsterdam sealing a deal for talented Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen, who has also made it clear he is not bothered about Tottenham not being in the Champions League.

Now Remy, who met with Spurs representatives last week in Paris, has insisted he is more concerned about who he will be playing for if he switches from Marseille to White Hart Lane.

Redknapp still has not yet been offered a new deal despite the fact that he has just one year left to run on his current contract.

Having guided the club into the top four for the second time in three seasons, Spurs were left heartbroken as Chelsea beat Bayern Munich to claim the Premier League’s fourth Champions League spot.

But Redknapp’s reputation remains strong enough to attract two players that will leave fans optimistic about their chances of breaking back into European football’s elite club competition next May.

Remy has hit 14 goals and six assists from 43 appearances in all competitions this season. He has already played in the Champions League this year, finishing second with Marseille in Group F which was topped by Arsenal.

Marseille went on to be put out at the quarter-finals stage by beaten finalists Bayern Munich.

Spurs do not believe Remy’s wages will be a problem but are still haggling with Marseille over his transfer fee.

All that remains for the Vertonghen deal to be concluded is for the two clubs to agree a fee with Spurs prepared to pay ?ú10million but Ajax demanding ?ú12.1million.

Vertonghen has already told the Dutch giants not to bother entertaining offers from any other club as he is only interested in moving to White Hart Lane.
 
That's the back 5 sorted.
