Spurs ponder complaint over Arnesen approach

Tottenham tonight insisted they were still debating whether to make an official complaint to the Premier league over the alleged tapping-up of sporting director Frank Arnesen by Barclays Premiership champions Chelsea.

Arnesen was suspended by Spurs at the weekend and White Hart Lane officials are still no nearer to making a formal complaint over accusations that Chelsea made an approach for the Dane that they claim was a “direct breach of FAPL rules”.
