Tottenham eye Inter stopper

Marco Materazzi's agent claims that Tottenham have made a move for the Italian international. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is being linked with a mass raid on the San Siro, with Materazzi, Nicolas Burdisso, Patrick Vieira and Mario Balotelli all said to be on his wish-list. Whilst reports in England suggest Burdisso is closing in on an £8million switch to North London, Materazzi's representative has revealed that Spurs have opened talks to land him. Manchester City and Portsmouth are also said to be interested in the former Everton star, who is now 35. Materazzi still has 18-months left on his contract, but now Inter are ready to contemplate whether to let him leave. "There is interest in England and I can say that Tottenham in recent days have expressed a real interest in Marco," Claudio Vigorelli revealed to Calciomercato. "We are at a very early stage, they are talking with Inter and presenting something to the player - then it is up to the club and Marco to decide whether to accept or not."
