Spurs linked with Foster according to Skysports
Spurs thwarted in Foster bid
Tottenham fail to match Red Devil's valuation of keeper
Sky Sports News understands that Tottenham have had a bid for Manchester United goalkeeper Ben Foster rejected.
Spurs have been continuously linked with a move for Portsmouth shot-stopper David James since the summer but seem to have now turned their attentions towards Foster.
The 26-year-old has waited patiently for his chance to shine at Old Trafford but when given a starting berth at the beginning of the season with Edwin Van der Sar out injured the England international made a number of high-profile errors.
Since then the former Stoke City ace has slipped down the pecking order, so much so that when Van der Sar suffered yet more injury heartache against Everton in November fellow keeper Tomasz Kuszczak was given his chance with Foster recently struggling to make the bench.
Foster has been tipped to leave United this month in a bid to secure his place in the England squad for the World Cup this summer.
Red Devils manager Sir Alex Ferguson has stated on more than one occasion that Foster will not be allowed to leave on loan and it is believed that Spurs have failed to meet United's valuation of the keeper.
Whether Harry Redknapp ups his bid or decides to renew his interest in James remains to be seen but the former Portsmouth boss may have to decide quickly with Sunderland also thought to be interested in Foster.
