Ghana midfielder Stephen Appiah is in the frame to
become Harry Redknapp's first signing of the transfer window, after
training with Tottenham.
Appiah, who has been a free agent since the summer
following a dispute with Turkish side Fenerbahce, looks set to be
offered a deal until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old has suffered knee injuries in the past, but
Redknapp is confident that will not be a problem and is hoping to
arrange a deal.
"I watched him an awful lot for Ghana - about six times - but I
ended up taking Sulley Muntari because Juventus were asking
£14million for Appiah," said Redknapp.
"Appiah was the captain of Ghana. He played in midfield with
(Michael) Essien and Muntari - that was their midfield.
"He was a terrific player but had a bit of a problem with his
knee - and he went to Turkey. But he is fine now; he's fit and
looks okay.
"He is going to have a week's training. We will have a chat with
him; Daniel (Levy, Spurs chairman) will speak to his people and see
what the deal is. He is a good player - if he is fit he's a
terrific player."
