Tottenham plot summer swoop for free agent Kalou but Chelsea plan fresh talks



Tottenham are plotting a summer swoop to sign the resurgent Salomon Kalou from neighbours Chelsea.



The Ivory Coast forward, who helped the Stamford Bridge club to a 5-1 win over Spurs in Sunday's FA Cup semi-final, is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to agree new terms.



Tottenham want to take advantage by launching a Bosman move for the 26-year-old.

Sportsmail understands Kalou and his representatives are aware of the interest and are giving the prospect of joining Spurs serious consideration.



But Chelsea have not given up hope of persuading the Ivorian to sign a new deal and plan to re-open talks in the coming weeks.



Kalou is also a target for AC Milan and his recent performances for Roberto Di Matteo's side have impressed Spurs manager Harry Redknapp.



Revitalised: Kalou has regained his form under Roberto Di Matteo

Kalou's Chelsea career looked as good as over under Andre Villas-Boas, after he was reduced to a bit-part role.



But the Portuguese's sacking and Di Matteo's appointment as interim manager have given Kalou a new lease of life.
