Arsenal target in advanced talks with Spurs over summer move

Football Express News understands that West Ham United defender Winston Reid is in advanced talks with Tottenham Hotspur over a summer move.

The central defender has been strongly linked with a move to Arsenal as Gunners boss Arsene Wenger continues his search for extra defensive cover.

However, the Gunners capture of Gabriel from Villarreal in the final week of the January transfer window has now seen that interest go from hot to cold.

Reid has been long in talks with West Ham over a new contract as his current deal is due to expire at the end of the season.

Reports in English press have claimed that the central defender is reluctant to sign a new deal at Upton Park, and talk of his exit in the summer is now edging closer after Spurs began talks with the New Zealand international.

Our source has now revealed that the defender is in talks over a summer move and a deal could be agreed before the end of February, thus stopping clubs from making further contact.
