Tottenham considering Blues offer

TOTTENHAM are considering the offer of compensation they have received from Chelsea to settle the row over Frank Arnesen's possible defection to Stamford Bridge.

Spurs issued a brief statement yesterday announcing they will be responding to Chelsea's offer later in the day.

Tottenham had threatened to lodge an illegal approach complaint by noon yesterday after pictures showing Arnesen having lunch with Chelsea's billionaire owner Roman Abramovich on his yacht were published earlier this week.
