In the Times today on loan, with Norwich and QPR interested as well. Good player, only 22 and even though he hasn't played much for Spurs, he was excellent at Leicester last season on loan and at Sheff Utd before that. He was the RB in the Championship team of the season.
I would want an option to buy at the end of the loan but I'd be very happy with that.
Would prefer Kyle Walker but that's not possible. Naughtons pretty much the same player, same defensive qualities but less attacking minded.

I'm fully ok with a more defensive rightback. We have Riise and Briggs, who are both attacking-minded fullbacks. So we need some balance.
Jol, sign him up

Yeah totally agree ! Kyle Naughton would be a great choise
Bit confused, is this the kid that the bitters had on loan then went to Villa? If so quality, snap him up. If not i dont know him.

No, that's Kyle Walker.
Naughton played at Leicester last season and was in the Championship team of the season. Both are seen as future England internationals.
Naughton's approach is a bit less attacking than Walker's but he's an equally talented fullback.
My agency mate told me that Naughton is Neil Warnock's top transfer target.
I've just been re-watching last season's home game against Blackpool and, as a result, I don't think another right back is a priority. Chris Baird played a blinder (that was the game where he managed to get back and head the ball round the post after Schwarz had rushed out and missed his punch) and he didn't put a foot wrong all match, winning everything in the air and making several crucial interceptions. As the commentators said, had it not been for Bobby scoring a brace, CB would have been the obvious man of the match. With Kelly as backup I think there are more important areas where we should spend our budget.
