Canaries set to miss out on cash windfall
The Canaries look set to miss out on a big cash windfall if, as reported in today`s News of the World, West Ham turn down an £18m bid from Tottenham for Dean Ashton.
Ashton signed for the Hammers in January 2006 for an initial fee of £7m, with City also due to receive 15% of any profit made on the former Crewe trainee.
If he were to sign for Spurs for £18m that would equate to £1.65m winging its way to the Carrow Road coffers, but West Ham`s chief executive Scott Duxbury is quoted in the NotW as saying:
"Hell would have to freeze over for us to sell Dean to a major rival.
"It would be no surprise to us if there are certain clubs who would be interested in him.
"But we worked very hard to put together a deal to keep Dean at the club and he remains a massive part of our ambitious plans."

18m? HA!

leon best is worth 18mil just sayin

18m does seem pretty high, but it seems like most players cost that in the Premier League these days!

Not worth £18m in 18m years. Benty went for £16.5, and he's twice the player Ashton is.
