Hammers striker Ashton is £15m target for Spurs

Dean Ashton will get a fresh opportunity to leave his bitter-sweet FA Cup final memories behind when he is expected to move across London to join Tottenham this summer.

The 24-year-old striker, valued at about £15 million, scored for West Ham in the last final to be played in Cardiff but still finished on the losing side when Liverpool won a dramatic penalty shoot-out after Steven Gerrard's last-gasp equaliser.

Now Ashton tops the Spurs shopping list as they look for a replacement for Real Madrid-bound Dimitar Berbatov.

Meanwhile, the north London club are hoping to end their long search for a goalkeeper by signing former Real Madrid youth team product Diego Lopez from Villarreal.
