Coleman reveals Spurs bid for Boa Morte

Fulham boss Chris Coleman has confirmed Tottenham attempted to sign striker Luis Boa Morte in the summer, but could not meet Fulham's valuation of the Portuguese star.

Spurs, who have since clinched the signing of French midfielder Steed Malbranque from the Cottagers, had wanted Boa Morte as well but Coleman revealed their offer was nowhere near high enough.
