Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp made a last ditch move for Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy.Spurs had been constantly linked with the Dutch international throughout the summer, but reports in Spain are suggesting that Redknapp made a deadline day move for the highly rated striker.Van Nistelrooy had been demanding wages in the region of £90,000, seen as the major stumbling block in a possible deal, but that did not stop Spurs going back in an attempt to lure the former
Manchester United striker back to the Premier League.The Daily Mail have reported that Spurs were willing to go back to the Real Madrid board with a £9 million offer, a bid the Spanish giants would have been likely to accept as they try to recoup the vast amounts of money spent over the summer.A possible deal may have also hinged on Spurs being able to offload
Roman Pavlyuchenko for a similar fee, but when such a deal failed to transpire, Spurs were effectively out of the running for 'Van the Man'.Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the
