Spurs' Ashton bid 'rejected'

Norwich manager Nigel Worthington claims Spurs have had a £2million bid rejected for Crewe striker Dean Ashton.

Talking of his own interest in Ashton, which has ended due to his escalating price, Worthington said: "We've made enquiries. I think Spurs have been knocked back at £2m for Ashton. We have not got the resources."

Spurs, who play Brighton on Saturday, have made two signings since the transfer window opened, bringing in Emil Hallfredsson on a two-and-a-half-year deal from Icelandic club FH Hafnarfjordur and David Limbersky on an initial six-month loan deal from Czech Division Two side Viktoria Plzen.
