Tottenham: Barcelona target Kanoute

Barcelona could be set to test Tottenham's resolve to keep Fredi Kanoute at White Hart Lane in a bid to bolster their attacking options.

With Henrik Larsson ruled out until the summer with a serious knee injury, the Spanish league leaders are on the lookout for a new forward and have most recently been linked with Manchester City's Nicolas Anelka.

Barcelona said recently they would be unable to fund a bid for Anelka, stating that a loan move for a marksman was more likely than any permanent deal.

But sporting director Txiki Beguiristain told the Daily Star that a move for Kanoute, currently a regular in Martin Jol's improving Tottenham side, was under consideration.
