Tottenham boss
Harry Redknapp fancies a reunion
with Manchester United defender
Rio Ferdinand at the end of the
season.
The Daily Mail says Redknapp is planning a summer raid
for troubled Rio Ferdinand, who
has endured a torrid two months for club and country.
The Manchester United
defender could even be left out of the team against Blackburn
tomorrow after being given the run-around by Fernando Torres in last Sunday’s 2-0 defeat at
Liverpool.
With Northern Irish defender Jonny Evans knocking on the door of
the Old Trafford first team, Ferdinand’s long-term standing at
United is in question for the first time since he joined them seven
years ago.
It is understood that Spurs boss Redknapp is already monitoring
the situation closely and will try to find a way to take Ferdinand
to London next summer if he is given encouragement by his friend
Ferguson.
Spurs, in the process of finding money to build a new stadium,
would probably have to finish in the Champions League places to
have any chance of funding what would be a sensational
transfer.
Ferdinand, 31 next week, has three-and-half years left on his
United contract and earns in the region of £130,000-a-week.
