Klinsmann to Snub Spurs?

According to The Sun, former German international Jurgen Klinsmann has ruled himself out of the running for Tottenham's manager job, should Harry Redknapp leave for the England post.

Klinsmann, who played parts of two seasons at White Hart Lane, now manages the United States men's national team.

"I know the people there and I also know the environment. It's just a wonderful club," Klinsmann is quoted as saying. "But I am extremely proud and privileged to be US national team coach."

Klinsmann won the World Cup as a player in 1990 and led Germany to third place in 2006 as a coach.

City Reps Watch Hazard

In another Sun rumor, Manchester City reportedly sent a high-ranking trio to watch Belgian star Eden Hazard play for Lille over the weekend.

Manager Roberto Mancini, assistant David Platt and chief football administration officer Brian Marwood were among the party that flew to France for Lille's 4-0 win over Valenciennes.

Other English clubs are said to be interested in Hazard, including Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. But City would reportedly offer Hazard £150,000 per week.

"I heard before the game that Mancini was there," Hazard said. "For my part I always try and play the same way, whether Alex Ferguson's there or Mancini now.

Bolton to Withdraw from FA Cup?

According to Mirror Football, Bolton Wanderers may withdraw from the FA Cup in light of the Fabrice Muamba situation.

Bayern to Offer Robben New Contract?

Arjen Robben is in great form for Bayern Munich. The Dutch winger scored a hat trick over the weekend in a 6-0 win at Hertha Berlin.

Robben played for Chelsea from 2004-07.

Chelsea to Swoop for Non-Leaguer?

Debuchy to United?

According to Metro, Sir Alex Ferguson wasn't watching Eden Hazard when he flew to France recently to watch Lille play Lyon. Instead, Ferguson was apparently watching Lille fullback Mathieu Debuchy.

Ferguson reportedly saw Debuchy play during France's recent friendly against Germany. Bayern Munich and Valencia are also reportedly interested in Debuchy.
