Tottenham manager George Graham is set to make a combined bid of £10.5 million for Blackburn's Chris Sutton and Tim Sherwood. Graham was told recently that neither player would be allowed to leave Ewood Park but he is refusing to take no for an answer. He tried unsuccessfully to sign the 25-year-old Sutton last month and his predecessor at White Hart Lane, Christian Gross, had a £2.4 million offer for Sherwood, 29, rejected 10 weeks ago. Although Sutton has never indicated a desire to leave Blackburn, Sherwood has made little attempt to conceal the fact that he would at least like permission to meet Spurs.

German international goalkeeper Andreas Kopke should complete his projected free transfer to Rangers within the next 48 hours subject to an Ibrox medical. He had been expected to arrive in Glasgow yesterday, but the deal was held up while his departure from French club Marseille was finalised. The player has agreed personal terms.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Wilson is hoping to bring 19-year-old Swedish winger Frederik Berglund, who plays for IF Elfsborg, to Hillsborough for a week's trial.
