According to a report in the British tabloid the Daily Mirror,
Liverpool and Tottenham could be set for an exchange of right-sided
wingers in the January transfer window.
It is thought that Spurs manager Harry Redknapp is keen to add
Jermaine Pennant to his squad and upon making an enquiry as to his
availability, was told he can have him in exchange for Aaron
Lennon.
Redknapp tried to sign Pennant while manager of Portsmouth
during the transfer window over the summer.
The 25-year-old’s contract is set to expire next summer and
Liverpool have, as yet, made no effort to extend it.
Furthermore, the former Arsenal midfielder is thought to be
after a return to London and, having rejected the chance to join
Stoke City or Blackburn Rovers, could be ready for a move to White
Hart Lane.
While it is claimed that Redknapp is willing to offer £3 million
for the former England under-21 international, Reds’ boss Rafa
Benitez has other ideas.
He is believed to be interested in Lennon following his
impressive form recently, and could be prepared to offer Pennant
plus cash to land the 21-year-old.
