Andy Johnson

Simon Jordan has blasted Spurs for wanting to buy Andy Johnson at a knock-down price.

Reports suggest Spurs have offered a £7.5m package for Johnson and Wayne Routledge. But while Jordan admits Routledge is likely to go, he insists Johnson is not for sale.

"Another club is trying to steal one of the best players in the country for two shillings and sixpence," Jordan told The Sun.

"I've not had a formal bid from Tottenham for Andrew and, despite what others say, Wayne is not a Spurs player yet.

"Andrew is not for sale. He is happy and I've told him we are not going to let any first-team regulars leave - apart from Wayne."
