Chelsea consider £5m swoop for Spurs left-back Assou Ekotto

Chelsea are weighing up a possible bid to sign Benoit Assou-Ekotto from Tottenham.Rafa Benitez is under pressure to find a replacement for defender Ashley Cole who is set to leave after his contract ends in the summer, and the experienced Assou-Ekotto fits the bill.Chelsea have reportedly considered launching a bid of £5million, according to Metro, for the player Spurs paid just £3.5million to sign him from Lens in 2006.
The 28-year old Cameroon international stood out as one of the best players at White Hart Lane last season, although a persistent knee injury has kept him out of Andre Villas-Boas’ plans thus far, although he will be returning soon.Instead Jan Vertonghen has retained his place after capably standing in for the injured defender and Kyle Naughton, who is predominantly a right-back, has also played on the left.Chelsea have been linked with Southampton’s Luke Shaw, but the 17-year old’s arrival at Stamford Bridge would mean the club were left with two young left-backs in Shaw and Ryan Bertrand.
