Spurs watch Rhodes

Friday, 06/01/2012

Tottenham and Reading watched super striker Jordan Rhodes hit FIVE goals.

The hot-shot hitman took his tally for the season to 27 as he smashed five in the 6-0 demolition of Wycombe.

Rhodes has now hit 23 goals in his last 14 League One games and has become one of the hottest properties out of the top two flights.

Spurs coaches Joe Jordan and Clive Allen were at Adams Park to watch the 21-year-old Scotland striker come close to becoming the first player at this level to hit six in a game.

It is understood representatives of another SEVEN Premier League sides were also at the game. Reading boss Brian McDermott was also in the stands.

He hit two goals in the first half and a hat-trick in the second to push up his value even further. Rhodes has averaged more than a goal every other game during his two and a half years with the Terriers.

West Ham had asked about his availability over Christmas and Huddersfield said the player was not for sale.

But now Lee Clark's club could face increased pressure to sell as big clubs start to sniff around the player.

Earlier today Rhodes was named at npower League One player of the month for December.

Huddersfield boss Clark admitted: "I believe he is responding to all the nice things being said about him and the speculation linking him with clubs in the higher leagues."
