Spurs will try to attract Hoffenheim striker Ryan Babel, but the Dutch media will have to deal with competition from Newcastle.

The youth of Ajax moved to German club 18 months ago, after spending 3.5 years in Liverpool. Flanking player has received permission from his coach Markus Babel to seek a new team, as it falls into the plans of coach for next season.

25-year-old does not travel with the team of the pre-season camp in Austria and Germany was left to cook with the second team.

Newcastle and Swansea City have already shown their appetites for Babel, but the player most likely to prefer the proposal of Tottenham for the chance to play in Europe next season.

Babel arrived at "Liverpool" for 11.5 million pounds as promising signing, but he failed to convince the then Liverpool coach Rafael Benitez in his qualities.

In March, even Babel said that could leave Hoffenheim by describing his current club with the word "middle." "I believe that I have something to improve in my performance, but it is difficult to reach your own potential in middle club," said then the Dutchman.
