Harry Redknapp has confirmed that Tottenham have lodged
an official enquiry for Sunderland striker Kenwyne
Jones.
Never one to shy away from making his transfer targets public,
Redknapp has once again moved to verify his interest in a player
with whom he has been linked with for much of the January transfer
window.
The Spurs manager was similarly candid over his admiration for
Jermain Defoe and Wilson Palacios, both of whom have since
completed moves to White Hart Lane.
Recent speculation has suggested that Darren Bent could be used
as a makeweight in any bid to bring Jones to the club but Redknapp
would not substantiate anything other than the fact that Sunderland
had been made aware of his desire to sign the Trinidad and Tobago
international.
"We have made an enquiry for Jones," he confirmed.
"I have no idea how far the chairman has got with it or even
whether Sunderland want to do a deal."
