Youngster targeted by Tottenham
Southampton, 11:36, September 23, 2008 ,
Tottenham are understood to be lining up a January move for Southampton's highly-rated midfielder Adam Lallana.
Spurs scouts have been keenly watching the progress of the youngster over recent months, with Lallana establishing himself as a regular in the Saints first-team.
Some reports claim the deal will be similar to the one struck by Arsenal to sign Theo Walcott from Southampton, as Tottenham look to add more young talent from the Championship to Juande Ramos' squad - with Gareth Bale and Chris Gunter among those who have taken the step up.
Its understood the 20-year-old, who only recently put pen-to-paper on a three-year contract at St Mary's, will cost in excess of £5million with the fee set to increase dramatically after a certain number of appearances.
