Tottenham Transfer Rumours: 5 Big Name Stars Spurs Fans Would Love to See Signed

There's no hiding the fact that the wheels have come off Tottenham Hotspur's season, but what did fans expect at the start of the campaign?

Whilst I believe that Champions League qualification was always the minimum standard required, many fans are already looking ahead to the summer transfer window and who they want to see at White Hart Lane in 2013.

Here are 5 Big-Name Stars Spurs Fans Would Love To See Signed—maybe.

Emmanuel Adebayor

Up until recently Emmanuel Adebayor was having an excellent season for Tottenham, but the club's dip in form has coincided with the Togolese forward's recent slump.

Despite this, Harry Redknapp will be hoping that he can agree a wage package with Adebayor so that he can sign the player on a permanent deal over the summer.

Manchester City seem to consider him surplus to requirements.

Eden Hazard

Harry Redknapp has already showed his public affection for Lille's Eden Hazard and will be hoping he can lure the Belgian winger to White Hart Lane over the summer.

Manchester United and a few other clubs are also rumoured to be chasing Hazard however, which could make a deal a little more convoluted than Redknapp would like.

Expect a big cheque to be written for this player.

Jan Vertonghen

With Ledley King undependable and a host of other injuries mounting throughout his squad, Harry Redknapp could do worse than to look at Jan Vertonghen of Ajax as a summer purchase.

In fact it's rumoured that he already is.

Vertonghen is valued at £22 million by the Dutch giants with Bayern Munich and Arsenal also rumoured to be tracking the player.

Demba Ba

If the signing of Emmanuel Adebayor doesn't go ahead, Harry Redknapp may look to Senegal and Newcastle striker Demba Ba as a possible replacement.

Ba's goalscoring has cooled since the arrival of Papiss Cisse—largely due to playing out of position to accommodate his international compatriot—but his record in the Premier League is still an impressive one.

Leandro Damiao

Apparently the club has already made two efforts to sign Brazilian Leandro Damiao, but Harry Redknapp is yet to land the exciting forward from Internacional.

There is no figure mentioned for the 22-year-old who would likely be a revelation in the Premier League.

Damiao has recently declared he would prefer a move to England than Spain.
