EX-CRYSTAL Palace defender Jose Fonte has emerged as a shock target for Champions League chasing Tottenham.
The 30-year-old Portuguese centre half has been heavily linked with a move away from St Mary's this summer, with Cardiff reportedly leading the chase for his services.
But now Fonte has been linked by at least two football writers with a surprise move to White Hart Lane, where he would link up once again with former boss Maurico Pochettino - even if the prospect of the journeyman stopper moving up the Premier League table seems a little far-fetched.
Fonte spent four seasons with Palace in the second tier of English football, before moving south in 2010.
