Rangers bid for Routledge
Queens Park Rangers have bid £1.8 million for Tottenham's want-away winger Wayne Routledge.
The 23-year-old has made just three five first team appearances since joining Spurs from Crystal Palace and has been linked with a move back to Selhurst Park, as well as Birmingham.
However, both of these sides have baulked at an asking price of around £2 million - something that would not worry newly-rich Rangers.
The Loftus Road outfit have already been busy in this transfer window signing six players including bought Fitz Hall, Patrick Agyemang and Rowan Vine, but more are likely before the end of the month.
With such investment, although a long shot from their current position of fifth-bottom, Rs fans will be wondering whether a promotion charge may be possible as in the ultra-tight Championship they lie just 11 points behind 6th place Crystal Palace.
Routledge joined Spurs from Crystal Palace in 2005 and was one of the brightest English prospects at the time.
He has found himself unable to win over former boss Martin Jol and the situation doesn't appear to be improving under new boss Juande Ramos.
Portsmouth and Fulham have loaned the winger in the past and he enjoyed reasonable success at both, Birmingham and Championship side West Bromwich Albion have recently expressed an interest in his services, but QPR have launched the first bid.
Manager Luigi de Canio has been busy in the transfer window and sees Routledge as a key player in his push for promotion.
Though no official response to the offer is made public, it is expected that Spurs will demand at least a million more for the player.
