Tottenham to splash £10m on Rangers' defensive rock Carlos Cuellar

Tottenham have added Rangers defender Carlos Cuellar to their wish list for the summer following his superb debut season in Scotland.

Cuellar, who has just been named the Scottish Football Writers' Player of the Season, has been a key part in Rangers' incredible bid to win the Quadruple.

It is understood Spurs' sporting director Damien Comolli is looking into the possibility of signing the 26-year-old even though he could cost up to £10million.

Cuellar joined Rangers for only £2.37m from Osasuna last summer.

Spurs have already managed to make the most of Rangers' need for funds by signing Alan Hutton for £8m in January and know that a big offer will prove difficult to refuse.

Manager Juande Ramos wants to strengthen at the back for next season with captain Ledley King plagued by injury, and Michael Dawson and Younes Kaboul likely to leave.
