Redknapp open to Anelka move

Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has refused to rule out a January move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka.

The 32-year-old forward, who has become out of favour at Stamford Bridge, has been linked with a move away from the former Premier League champions.

"I have always liked him," said Redknapp. "I think he is a fantastic goalscorer but he is not a player who I have made any enquiries about or mentioned to the chairman.

"Having said that, I wouldn't stand here and say, 'No. Never', because if I did sign him you would say, 'What a lying git'. It's not a bad shout. He's a good player."

The former Liverpool frontman recently stated that he will honour his contract at Chelsea until the end of the season.
