West Ham defender Matthew Upson is a target for London rivals Tottenham, according to reports.

The 29-year-old has shrugged off a series of injury problems to emerge as one of the Hammers' most consistent performers following his £6million switch from Birmingham in January 2007.

That has seen him propelled into the England reckoning and he was rewarded with a first international cap in a competitive fixture in Saturday's 5-1 win over Kazakhstan at Wembley.

However, Spurs boss Juande Ramos is desperate to shore up his leaky defence.

And, according to The People, the Spaniard is weighing up a £5millon offer for the former Arsenal centre back in the January transfer window.
