He has been at centre of much speculation this season and today a new club has reportedly entered the race.

Tottenham are the latest club to be linked with a January move for Real Madrid striker Ruud Van Nistelrooy.

The Dutch international has been strongly linked with a move back to the Premier League in recent weeks and months, with both Liverpool and Arsenal also understood to be keen.

The Daily Mirror reports that Harry Redknapp would be interested in the former Manchester United man if he became available, however he is likely to face competition from both Arsene Wenger and Rafa Benitez.

Spurs obviously aren’t short of frontmen at the moment, however with both Roman Pavlyuchenko and Robbie Keane possible departures come the new year, you really can’t rule out Van Nistelrooy arriving at White Hart Lane.

I personally wouldn’t be at all surprised if Van Nistelrooy was playing in England before the transfer window closes on February 1st. He is now 33, however I personally believe he could still do a decent job for any of the three clubs involved.

Who do you think Van Nistelrooy will be playing for at the end of January? Comments below please.
