Tottenham will consider selling Peter Crouch when the January transfer window opens for business.
Despite finding the net five times in the Champions League this season, Crouch has scored just once in the Premier League this season.
That was yesterday in the 4-2 win over Blackburn!
Boss Harry Redknapp warned Crouch to pull his socks up last week or face the threat of losing his place for club and country with rival strikers breathing down his neck.
But Redknapp also has worrying concerns about his ability to play alongside and utilise the strengths of Rafael van der Vaart, who was signed from Real Madrid on August transfer deadline day.
Jermain Defoe is close to returning after surgery to repair ankle ligament damage and unless Crouch’s form shows signs of radical improvement he faces the imminent axe from the side.
Redknapp has also made no secret of his desire to strengthen his front line options.
If an offer came in for Crouch that met Spurs’ £8million valuation Redknapp is unlikely to stand in the player’s way providing he gets boardroom assurances that the money will be made available to him to strengthen his squad.
In an ideal world Redknapp would still prefer to off-load either Robbie Keane or Roman Pavyluchenko. But Spurs are not interested in loan deals for Keane and have already rejected two cut-price offers for their Russian marksman.
While Redknapp is considering a striker or two out of White Hart Lane, Van der Vaart’s wife Sylvie has revealed how thrilled they are by life in London.
Sylvie, the new face of French cosmetic giants L’Oreal and presenter of one of the biggest TV shows in Germany, said: “Rafa has found his place and his happiness. This is why he is in the best form of his life.”
The actress and model added: “We’ve found a beautiful house in Hertfordshire.
“When Inter Milan were over to play Spurs two weeks ago, we saw Wesley Sneijder and his wife Yolanthe out in London. The next morning I realised I had lost one of my shoes, but the next day it was in the letter box the next day.
“The driver had come all the way back to deliver it, he had found it in his car.”
