Tottenham are confident of signing Stewart Downing from Middlesbrough for £10 million and right-back Pascal Chimbonda from Wigan for a further £5 million.
Chimbonda may take legal action against the club he signed a long term contract with because he believes that it was signed with a verbal agreement that they would let him leave if a top club showed an interest.
The Frenchman is getting advice on ways to handle a claim that the club has breached his contract by not letting him move to Spurs.
