Want away: West Ham captain Nigel Reo-Cocker is on Spurs' wanted list

"I can confirm that Nigel Reo-Coker has officially handed in a transfer request with West Ham," said Finnigan.

"Nigel hopes his future will be resolved in the next few weeks.

"I am surprised that a 23-year-old Londoner who is captain of his club is being allowed to leave."

Finnigan added on www.skysports.com: "As I said in January, Nigel would get his head down and work to keep West Ham in the Premiership.

"And that is exactly what he did with 100% commitment."

Tottenham and Liverpool are believed to be the front-runners for his services and Spurs boss Martin Jol has made no secret of the fact that he has long been an admirier of the youngster.
