Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho may have to re-structure his list of transfer targets if the club have to resolve their row over Frank Arnesen by selling Glen Johnson and Robert Huth to Tottenham.
Both England right-back Johnson and Germany centre-half Huth are now believed to be part of a cash-plus-player compensation package designed to end the feud before Friday's noon deadline.
Spurs, incensed by pictures of their suspended sporting director on Roman Abramovich's yacht this week, reacted by issuing a terse statement demanding that Chelsea reach a settlement by the deadline or face being the subject of another Premier League 'tapping-up' investigation.
