What problem position?

Yet ever since interest was shown in Pascal Chimbonda of Wigan, Tottenham have been linked in the press with every right back that's become available.

Gary Jacob in The Times writes: ‘Tottenham have been watching a number of players in France, but they will probably turn their attentions to Zdenek Grygera, of Ajax.'

The same report also insists Spurs considered a move for Hatem Trabelsi, but he joined Manchester City, and that Lucas Neill has decided against joining the club.

Also according to the Daily Mirror last week, 'Spurs are tracking Belgian Under-21 international Thomas Vermaelen, the Ajax left-back who can also play on the left of midfield.'

Young-Pyo Lee played 90 minutes on the right in the friendly against Real Sociedad at the weekend, and is likely to start the new season in that position, after playing on the left in his first year at Spurs.

The club has signed Benoit Assou-Ekotto from Lens in the summer and he's done well enough in Martin Jol's eyes during pre-season to start the campaign at left back.
