Tottenham Hotspur lead Christopher Samba chase

Tottenham Hotspur are thought to be confident over the capture of Blackburn Rovers captain Christopher Samba.

New Queens Park Rangers boss Mark Hughes is also thought to be keen on the defender.

However, Spurs are convinced that an £8m bid and the lure of Champions League football will be able to bring Samba to White Hart Lane, according The Telegraph.

Harry Redknapp has recently spoken of his need to add defenders to his squad after injuries to Ledley King and William Gallas.
