LONDON, August 31, 2011 /PRNewswire/ --

It's D-Day in the football betting world as the deadline for player transfers approaches. Online football betting experts, Sky Bet, can reveal that the Tottenham players are making the most noise in the transfer betting market. Indeed, Spurs have emerged as the key Premier League club in the transfer deadline betting market at Sky Bet as a number of deals depend on events at White Hart Lane.

First up, whizz kid Luka Modric's protracted transfer saga will have to come to an end tonight, with the online football betting company offering 1/20 for the playmaker to stay after manager Harry Redknapp revealed he was certain of Modric's future at the club.

Sky Bet can also reveal that Modric is 13/2 to leave White Hart Lane and he may not be the only player departing North London...

...as Peter Crouch has been linked with a move to both Stoke (9/2) and QPR (13/8), but Sunderland are currently the 1/2 favourites to snap up the England striker.

Spurs are also keen to bolster their defensive options and Bolton centre-back Gary Cahill is 4/7 to move by 11pm, whilst potential target Phil Jagielka is 5/2 to leave Everton.

Midfielder Jermaine Jenas is another target for a number of clubs and QPR manager Neil Warnock is 6/4 favourite to land the out-of-favour midfielder.
