Bid accepted for Huddlestone

By The Black Cats
June 24 2009

The Black Cats, plus two other teams, have had an £8.5million offer for 22 year old midfielder Tom Huddlestone accepted by Tottenham Hotspur. Huddlestone would add some much needed height in the Sunderland midield as well as the ability to pick out a pass, something we have been missing in recent times.

Spurs Boss Harry Redknapp has said that he would like Huddlestone to stay, but it is up to him which club he goes to... Huddlestone is understood to be looking for regular fierst team football, something he isn't getting at White Hart Lane.

Rumour has it that the other sides who have put offers forward are Everton and Aston Villa.

Everton are brimming with quality midfielders ( They've got Fellani, Cahill, Neville, Arteta, Rodwell, Pienaar ) so I don't think that would be an option for Huddlestone, however, Aston Villa will be looking to replace the recently departed Gareth Barry and teh lure of European football may be too much for the Black Cats to compete with.
