It is rumoured that David Pleat has been keeping a watchful eye on the progress of 21 yr old Wigan striker Nathan Ellington, or the Duke as the fans call him.

The goalscorer was purchased from Bristol Rovers for around million after his partnership with Bobby Zamora had to be broken due to financial reasons.

Spurs have been in the hunt for a goalscorer for quite some time, with the imminent departure of Les Ferdinand and Sergei Rebrov.

A bid in the region of 3million would be hard for Wigan to turn down.
