Tottenham are considering Celtic star James Forrest as a possible replacement for Gareth Bale.
Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas is all too aware of Bale’s rising stock around Europe, and the club are preparing themselves for massive offers for the Welshman in the summer.
Villas-Boas is believed to be readying a £130,000-a-week contract offer to try and get Bale to commit, but Celtic winger Forrest has emerged as a possible replacement if he doesn’t sign up.
Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are just some of the sides known to be chasing Bale, and Spurs will sell if the 23-year-old tries to push through a transfer.
Spurs won’t be left short-changed though – they believe they can get up to £50million for Bale, and plan to put just a portion of that towards Forrest as a replacement.
The Scotland international has long been on Tottenham’s radar, and given that he has picked up vital Champions League experience this term, he is now seen as ready to head south.
Arsenal and smaller sides Norwich and Wigan have also tracked Forrest, who is a tricky winger with plenty of raw talent, just like Bale was before his conversion into a more central player this year.
Celtic will want up to £8million for Forrest, but could accept players such as David Bentley or Bongani Khumalo in part-exchange.
