' Should he return to his old club? '
Tuesday 17th June 2014.
Caulker has a relegation release clause in his contract
Former Tottenham Hotspur defender Steven Caulker is available for around £8 million according to various reports which begs the question should Spurs move for him?
The Chronicle Live understand Newcastle have been offered the Cardiff City player, with the Welsh club looking to raise funds and cut their wage bill following their relegation from the Premier League.
£8 million release clause
Caulker moved to Cardiff from Spurs last season for £11 million but had a relegation release clause in his contract which means he is available for just £8 million this summer.
The same media believe the 22-year-old is keen on moving on and has already started his own fitness regime to get ready for pre-season training.
Queue of clubs interested
The Daily Mail have added Everton, Arsenal, Crystal Palace, Swansea and Southampton among clubs looking to sign the Cardiff ace.
Caulker isn’t short of potential new clubs but the opportunity to rejoin his former club Spurs would most likely be too difficult to turn down.
Tottenham are in need of another centre back with concerns over the future of club captain Michael Dawson and Jan Vertonghen plus the fitness of Younes Kaboul.
Return to White Hart Lane logical?
Meanwhile Caulker showed glimpses of his talent during his spell with Spurs previously where he progressed through the youth team and many fans were unimpressed when he was sold to Cardiff.
It seems like the England international has unfinished business at White Hart Lane and if Mauricio Pochettino was to make a move for him surely he would be interested in a return.
For just £8 million it would seem logical to make a move for Caulker and try to bring him back to the club.
Also, considering Pochettino’s reputation with young players, the Cardiff captain would likely to develop even more and fulfil his potential under the Argentine.
All that remains now is for Tottenham to make a bid, but will they?

So every player we sign we sell at a massive loss ? No wonder we are a laughing stock. Thought Tan was a canny business man ?
