Tottenham are in pole position to secure the signing of Wigan midfielder James McCarthy. The centre midfielder has been lined up as a replacement for Scott Parker, who has been reportedly told he is free to leave White Hart Lane.
One issue could be the reported £20m that Wigan are after to sell the Republic of Ireland international.<br />
