Tottenham:

Queens Park Rangers have been busy over the summer trying to improve their squad, and are now eyeing Tottenham Hotspur centre-half William Gallas in their attempts to strengthen their backline.

Rangers' manager Mark Hughes has already made as many as seven signings over the summer, as the ambitious club look to overhaul their squad and avoid another relegation dogfight in the upcoming season.

Among those signings already made is Gallas' 34-year old ex-teammate Ryan Nelsen, but Hughes wants another seasoned player to lend more experience to his backline, and has targeted the Frenchman, who has only 12 months remaining on his contract at White Hart Lane.
