Kinda curious as to why spurs would want him, considering the striker talent harry has at his disposal. But for other clubs wanting an out and out forward he may by worth a shout, as long as they can afford him, still would have one or two seasons left in him. Ruud van Nistelrooy has issued a 'come and get me' plea to Premier League clubs after the Dutch striker opened the door to a summer return to England. Out-of-contract Van Nistelrooy is set to quit German side Hamburg at the end of the season and the news as put Tottenham and Blackburn on alert with the once-prolific former Manchester United marksman available on a free transfer. The Holland international, 34, was keen to leave the Bundesliga club during the January transfer window hoping to seal a shock move back to Real Madrid, the club he left Old Trafford to join following a dispute with manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2006. Hamburg blocked his departure, however, with Real coach Jose Mourinho switching his attention to Manchester City's Emmanuel Adebayor, on a short-term loan deal. 'Spain would be great, but in the Premier League I have many good contacts,' he told German newspaper Bild. 'I will be a free agent this summer, with concrete offers. 'I will sit down with the proposals and make a decision with my wife. Blackburn Rovers boss Steve Kean sounded out his interest but a move failed to materialise. Goals galore: Van Nistelrooy was a prolific force for Manchester United during his time at Old Trafford Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is also said to an admirer of Van Nistelrooy and is understood to be exploring a number of option to bolster his striking department for next season. And Van Nistelrooy, restricted to 19 league outings scoring seven goals for Hamburg this term, could represent shrewd business since he is up for grabs on a free. The Dutchman scored 150 goals in almost five years at Old Trafford, helping the club to the title in 2003 and FA Cup a year later in 2004.
Would love to have him here,like you say he has a couple of seasons left in him and I think his experience could help our young strikers development.Nothing to lose in my opinion,wages might be a stumbling block though...
