Woodgate talking to Spurs

[Beefy]

Tottenham have been granted permission to speak to Middlesbrough defender Jonathan Woodgate

Newcastle United were linked with the centre-back, who has three-and-a-half years remaining on his current contract, earlier this week, but Boro manager Gareth Southgate moved to deny the rumours.

Reports claimed that the Magpies were keen to open talks to take Woodgate back to St James' Park, however it now appears Spurs have gained the upper hand in their bid to sign the 28-year-old in the January transfer window.


Woodgate is understood to have become increasingly unsettled with life under Southgate at Boro and he could now be set to depart his hometown club.
