Tottenham Hotspur are planning a A17m bid for FC Porto defense Eliaquim Mangala at the end of the time, according to the Daily Star. Andre Villas-Boas has sent scouts to watch Porto's Eliaquim Mangala from past two months. The statement indicates Spurs manager Andre Villas-Boas has already sent scouts to check the key defender in action within the last few two months and AVB has already contacted his former club with regard to the 22-year-old's possible summer transition to White Hart Lane. Mangala has held it's place in form for the Portuguese membership and has presented in all the Champions League games in 2010. The Daily Star claims a close to Mangala claims the central defender is keen on a proceed to England or Italy. Serie A leaders AC Milan will also be thinking about his services. "He wants to improve his career and to perform in England or Italy will be a dream," Daily Star cited a source as saying The ex-Chelsea boss had earlier in the day revealed to reduce the squad in the summer as AVB is set to reduce steadily the number of key defenders from five to four. This can see William Gallas, 35, leave the club at the end of the growing season. As well as this, Younes Kaboul can be associated with a move far from the Lane as the Daily Mail reports Russian membership Anzhi Makhachkala are enthusiastic about the French international's services. Should the report be correct, the 22-year-old is likely to replace the ex-Arsenal person in Spurs central defense as Gallas is numbering his times at the north London club. Nevertheless, it'll not be a simple task for AVB to land Mangala as the same statement also indicates Fulham and Newcastle United are also keeping a bill on the key defender. Wenger Provides Harm Update Ahead of Derby Conflict Arsene Wenger has several in court problems ahead of the north London derby against Tottenham Hotspur. Arsene Wenger has unmasked defenders Bacary Sagna and Kieran Gibbs are ruled out for the derby sport against Spurs while Abou Diaby has a 50:50 possibility of featuring for Arsenal on Sunday. "[Sagna] isn't ready for Sunday. It is too small for him. Kieran isn't back. As we expected that has been. Abou is an uncertainty. He has a leg issue, a minor one. It is question of days. He'll have tests and then we will see if he can be used by us on Sunday or not. It's a 50:50. Really why not a extra for him playing," Wenger discussed.
