West Ham in talks with Spurs over Scott Parker

West Ham are holding talks with Spurs over the possible transfer of Scott Parker.

The England midfielder has been linked with a host of Premier League clubs following the Hammers' relegation.

QPR made a £4m offer which was rejected last week and the Irons are believed to be holding out for an £8m deal.

Spurs are keen to strengthen their midfield and boss Harry Redknapp has focused on bringing Parker to White Hart Lane before the transfer window closes on Wednesday night.
