PALACIOS ... gave Lampard a tough
time.
The Tottenham boss made extensive enquiries before
asking chairman Daniel Levy to spend around £12million on the
midfielder, 24.
As Redknapp prepared his squad for tonight’s Carling
Cup semi-final second leg at Burnley, he said: “I like the way
Palacios plays, he’s an all-round modern midfielder.
“Frank Lampard reckons no one has had an easy game
against him. He has the ability to become real top class.
“Manchester City came in for Palacios last week but the
Tottenham chairman is trying to sort out the deal now after we
agreed a fee with Wigan.”
