Newcastle boss Kevin Keegan is preparing a double raid for Tottenham duo Michael Dawson and Aaron Lennon.

The Toon manager is lining up a £4million swoop for the centre half, according to the Daily Mirror, after it emerged that 24-year-old Dawson looks likely to be pushed down the pecking order if White Hart Line coach Juande Ramos gets in the men he wants.
