Redknapp: 'I'd be a liar if I said I wouldn't take Tevez'
Harry Redknapp admits he would sign Carlos Tevez if he had the chance.

The Argentine striker looks certain to leave Manchester City when the January transfer window opens, with AC Milan his most likely destination, but the Spurs boss confesses he would love the chance to snap him up.

Although Redknapp admits it’s highly unlikely any deal could be done, he told the Andy Goldstein Sports Bar Show: “I like Tevez, he’s a fantastic player. I couldn’t see it happening, but I’d be a liar if I said I wouldn’t take him if I had the chance.

“When he plays, he’s top class. Whatever you say about him, when he players he has a real go and never plays without putting in all in.”

In fact, Redknapp says he’s not planning any moves into the transfer market. He added: “I think we’ll stay with what we’ve got. Unless you can buy a fantastic player, we aren’t going to improve too much.

“I’d probably give myself a headache by bringing someone else in because I’ve got plenty of cover in most positions.”
