Tottenham launch bid for Chelsea pair Bridge, Johnson


Tottenham are planning a £6 million bid for Chelsea fullbacks Glen Johnson and Wayne Bridge.

The People says Spurs manager Martin Jol needs a pair of full-backs and will test Mourinho's resolve by offering to buy both defenders at the end of the season.
Tottenham's Canada right-back Paul Stalteri has been blamed for a number of goals conceded this season which have cost the club valuable points.
On the other flank, Yong-Pyo Lee has also failed to live up to expectations and Jol is keen to find improvements for those positions as he sets about mounting a regular challenge for European football.
Spurs have been tracking Bridge and Johnson for several months.
