Van Bommel Reiterates Spurs Desire Dutch star Mark van Bommel has confirmed that he would consider a move to Tottenham Hotspur.
Van Bommel was strongly linked with a move to Arsenal when he broke into the Dutch international squad, but any potential interest from Higbury was never followed up.
The 26-year-old was then eyed by Spurs last summer and he revealed that he would move to White Hart Lane.
Six months on, van Bommel has now again stated his interest in a move to North London.
"It's a fine club with a beautiful stadium and a good squad," he told De Telegraaf.
"I have played at White Hart Lane with the Dutch national team and with PSV."
Van Bommel's quotes come after Spurs were linked with a renewed bid for him.
A number of trips to Holland by Spurs' current caretaker boss David Pleat - who will continue in his director of football role once a new manager is installed in the summer - has ignited speculation in the local Dutch media and now they claim a summer move is on the cards.
Tottenham are busy looking at targets for next season and Pleat's trips have seen him take in a number of Eredivisie games.
A defensive midfielder is thought to be very high on Spurs' wanted list and van Bommel would fit the bill perfectly, and with just one year left on his current deal at PSV - he may not be as expensive as he was.
Spurs are also continuing on the trail of Feyenoord's highly rated winger Robin van Persie.
Pleat was impressed by him earlier this year and has again travelled to watch him play, and a summer bid for him looks increasingly likely.
Like van Bommel, van Persie has just over a year left on his current deal.
