Tottenham, Manchester United and Birmingham City are all reportedly showing an interest in a £10million move for AC Milan misfit Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in the January transfer window.
The Holland international has failed to settle at the San Siro following his £13million move from Real Madrid in the summer, and reports in Italy over the weekend suggest that he will be made available for transfer in the New Year.
The news is believed to have alerted Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, who tried to lure the 26-year-old hitman to White Hart Lane before he left the Santigao Bernabeu to join the Rossoneri.
United are another club believed to be keen on the hitman as Sir Alex Ferguson lookss to bolster his attacking options following a rather low key start to the season, with his side not as profilic as in recent seasons.
The sale of FIFA World Player of the Year Cristiano Ronaldo may have something to do with that!
Meanwhile, Blues manager Alex McLeish has been given a reported £40million transfer budget for the January transfer window is keen to add a proven goalscorer to his ranks as he looks to keep his side in the Premier League.
Huntelaar has proved in the past to be a predatory hitman, although recent spells with Los Blancos and Milan have clearly not gone as well as the Dutchman would have hoped.
However, the striker still boasts a club career record of 179 goals from 271 appearances alongside an impressive 14 goals from 25 international appearances for Holland.
