Spurs join Newcastle in bid to sign Blackburn's rising star Junior Hoilett



I have a say

Spurs are reportedly planning a raid for Blackburn's rising star Junior Hoilett, who has already attracted interest from Newcastle.

The 21-year-old ace is in the final year of his contract and appears reluctant to agree an extension.

Newcastle made strides to sign Canada-Born Hoilett in the summer but Steve Kean managed to persuade Hoilett's father and agent that Ewood Park was the best place for him.

Blackburn's start to the season has been woeful so far, winning just one game out of seven, and Hoilett could well look to move to guarantee his place in the Premier League next season.

Spurs are chasing a top-four finish this season and realise an exciting signing in January could give their chances of Champions League football a much needed rocket boost.

Hoilett, who can play on either wing, began to come of age last season, gaining plenty of praise from Blackburn manager Steve Kean.

Speaking in the summer, Kean said: 'He can be top, top notch. He can go all the way to being a very, very special player in this league.'
