20 next month, Gunter is one of a number of players to have come through the ranks at Cardiff City over the past few years and was a regular in the Bluebirds side at the age of 17.
Just 28 league appearances for Cardiff was enough for Tottenham to splash out £2m on the player in January 2008.
Chances have been few and far between to date at White Hart Lane to date but Harry Redknapp remains a fan and Gunter, already a key part of John Toshack's Wales side, showed while on loan at the City Ground last season what a capable player he is.
In addition to the Reds, Newcastle United have been linked with a summer swoop, either as a season-long loan or on a permanent basis.
