Tottenham are weighing up a bid for West Ham's out of favour winger Luis Boa Morte.

Boa Morte has failed to start for the Hammers this season since his substitution at half time in the first game of the season.

Spurs were thought to have been interested in signing Boa Morte from Fulham but lost out to the Hammers and now believe they can sign the winger in a cut price January deal as potential cover for new star Gareth Bale.

West Ham paid Fulham £5 million for Boa Morte but the north Londoners believe a bid of around £1.5 million will convince West Ham to allow him to leave.
