Alan Hutton Picture


Spurs are set to make an approach for Scotland and Rangers full back Alan Hutton in the January transfer window according to reports in The Express today.However, earlier in the month the News of the World reported that Rangers would accept bids of £8 million pounds from Hutton's list of admirers including; Liverpool, Arsenal, Newcastle and Man United.Hutton made his name predominantly from Scotland's unsuccessful Euro 2008 qualifying campaign, especially in the Tartan army's clash against world champions Italy. The game saw Hutton put in a heroic performance defensively as well as displaying his attack minded full back role.It is no surprise that there is a list of clubs waiting to snatch him up even with his £8 million price tag. In my opinion, Man United are favourites to sign him.




Sir Alex Ferguson quoted:




"Hutton was exceptional," he said. "He has come from nowhere and looks as though he will become a superstar once he gets that little extra bit of experience." Italy's match-winner, Christian Panucci, a Champions League winner with Real Madrid and Milan, has no doubt that the 22-year-old would not look out of place in Serie A if he became the first Scot to move there since Graeme Souness in 1984.

"Hutton is a very good player," said Panucci. "He is very quick and has two good feet. He produced a lot of good play against us in the game. He looks like a player with a good mentality, too, and I have no doubts he could play in Italy."
