Berbatov on the way out of Tottenham as he is absent when new kit is launched

[Mighty T.A.L.]

Dimitar Berbatov was conspicuous by his absence at Tottenham's launch of their new kit in central London last night.

The decision to opt for vice captain Robbie Keane, Jonathan Woodgate and Jermaine Jenas to don the new kit adds to the widely held belief that Berbatov's days at White Hart Lane are numbered given he is arguably Tottenham's most marketable player.

Spurs, meanwhile, are interested in Birmingham's Olivier Kapo, 27.

Martin Jol is on the verge of signing a two-year deal with German side Hamburg. Dutchman Jol has been out of work since being sacked by Spurs in October and is expected to replace countryman Huub Stevens who will take over at PSV Eindhoven in the summer.

it's really sad that this is the case. I can't say I blame a player of his skill for wanting to go to a bigger and better club but he stuck with us before and Ramos is doing great things. They have to replace him with somebody really special or maybe Bent is about to show why we paid so much for him.

Really sad news though.
