Spurs to fight Liverpool for Blackburn starlet

The People reports that Redknapp is a major admirer of Jones and sent top spy Ian Bloomfield to watch the youngster in action against Manchester City last week.

Spurs face competition from Liverpool, who are looking for a young English centre-half. The Reds are also keeping tabs on Bolton’s Gary Cahill.

Blackburn have ruled out selling Jones, but they could be forced to let the youngster leave should they be relegated.
