Tottenham have tabled a new improved £25million bid for Newcastle striker Andy Carroll.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy made the offer for the England star, 22, directly to Toon chief Mike Ashley yesterday.
The package of a £22m fee with another £3m to follow would shatter Tottenham's current transfer record which is the £16.5m they paid to Charlton for Darren Bent in 2007.
