Tottenham close in on Scott Parker



Tottenham are poised to wrap up the signing of West Ham midfielder Scott Parker.

The 30-year-old did not travel with West Ham squad to Nottingham Forest as the deal, believed to be worth £6million, neared a conclusion.

Hammers manager Sam Allardyce told Sky Sports: "There are some negotiations going on and I don't think he would be mentally right to play.

"It will come to fruition in the next 24 hours or so."

Spurs are expected to include a loan deal for one of their youngsters in the package.

Parker, who joined the Hammers from Newcastle for £7million in 2007, was named Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year last season despite the club finishing bottom of the Premier League.
