Carr shows his spurs

STEPHEN CARR has put pressure on Tottenham to come up with a lucrative contract offer to persuade the defender to commit his future to the club.

Carr, 27, is out of contract in 18 months' time and Tottenham must decide before next summer whether to cash in on him or offer him a deal that he cannot refuse.

The worst-case scenario would be losing another of their key assets for nothing, just as they did with Sol Campbell on a Bosman free transfer to Arsenal.
