Serious doubts over Redknapp's future at Spurs

Last updated : 06 January 2005 By Alistair Murray

The midfielder would be suited to a move somewhere he can feature in the first team more than he has in recent weeks at Spurs. The Tottenham captain has made only 10 appearances for Spurs this season, three of which were as a substitute.

Redknapp may decide to team up with his father Harry Redknapp at Southampton. He hasn’t played under his father since the earliest days of Redknapp junior’s professional career. Like his dad, Jamie owns property on the south coast near to the south coast club.

The 31-year-old might be used as an incentive to entice Fulham to part with Steed Malbranque. The French winger is valued at £8m, but Spurs will only offer the Cottagers around half that figure in cash, so the addition of a player still capable of doing a job in the Premiership might convince Fulham to accept a smaller cash figure.

Redknapp could join Fulham on a free transfer regardless of the any agreement concerning Malbranque.
