Redknapp: I Want Carlos Tevez

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he would jump at the chance to sign Manchester City rebel Carlos Tevez.

Tevez’s days at City appear to be numbered after a fall-out with boss ­Roberto Mancini and being charged by the club for failing to warm up against Bayern Munich. But Redknapp is not ­bothered about Tevez’s ­baggage and would not hesitate taking him to White Hart Lane in January. He said:

“I would take him if he were available for sure. If Manchester City want to let me have him on loan and subsidise it, I’ll take him tomorrow.

“Say what you like he’s a world-class player and the one criticism you can’t level at him is he doesn’t work his socks off when he plays.

“He’s a ­handful and I’m only ­interested what he does when he plays. World-class players are in very short supply.”
