Tottenham Hotspur are reported to have had a deadline day move for Brazilian superstar Ronaldo rejected by the player.The Corinthians striker, who has been voted world player of the year three times in his career, has a contract with the Brazilian side until December, which means the door could still be open for a move in January if Redknapp is still interested.Spurs had been chasing a striker all summer, but the move for the 32-year-old comes as a surprise to many as it was believed the boss was chasing Real Madrid star Ruud van Nistelrooy.Blackburn Rovers boss Sam Allardyce is also believed to have made a deadline day enquiry for Ronaldo, who is reported to have stayed in his homeland to be with girlfriend Maria Antony, who is rumoured to be pregnant.Despite question marks over his fitness, the signature of Ronaldo would have been seen as a coup for the White Hart Lane club, both on a playing and marketing basis, and the possibility of a move to the Premier League for the once great Ronaldo is not beyond the realms of possibility.Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the latest football news
