Fulham prepare Huddlestone swoop as £5m Sunderland move for Spurs midfielder stalls

Sunderland are ready to drop their interest in Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone after failing to agree a £5million transfer.



The problems at the Stadium of Light have opened the door for Fulham manager Martin Jol to revive his interest in the 26-year-old.

At White Hart Lane, Spurs are continuing to negotiate with FC Twente for winger Nacer Chadli.



The Dutch club have a bid on the table from Swansea but the Belgium international's agent Daniel Evrard said: 'We hear a lot about Tottenham, but the club will have to come up with a concrete offer first. We hope to have more clarity during this week.'

Meanwhile Fulham have handed trials to Lens striker Ange-Freddy Plumain, an 18-year-old who has previously been capped by France at Under 16 level.
