Spurs still in Hargreaves hunt
Bayern Munich midfielder Owen Hargreaves is still keen on a move to England with Tottenham the club who have come closest to signing the midfielder.
The 24-year-old turned down an offer from Spurs’ director of football, Frank Arnesen, in the summer but he is keeping the lines of communication open.
“The timing wasn’t right last summer but Frank told me to keep in touch,” Hargreaves told the Daily Mail.
“To play for a club like Tottenham and live in London would be wonderful.”
Canadian-born Hargreaves is aware that playing in the Premiership would boost his chances of playing for England more regularly than he has since the 2002 World Cup.
“You saw it with Shaun Wright-Phillips,” he added.
“Obviously he has played really well but his case gathers momentum when the press and the public are saying they want to see him in the England side.
“The manager changed the tactics a bit to fit him in against Holland last month.”
