Tottenham have rejected a £4.5m bid from West Brom for striker Fredi Kanoute.
WBA boss Bryan Robson originally wanted the he 27-year-old Mali international on a season-long loan but when that was rejected he returned with a bid.
Kanoute joined Spurs for £3.5m from West Ham in August 2003, having arrived at Upton Park from Lyon in 2000 for a £3.2m transfer fee.
A spokesperson for Spurs said: “We can confirm that we have rejected a bid from West Brom for Fredi Kanoute.”
