Harry Redknapp personally scouts Loic Remy

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has flown out to France to scout Marseille striker Loic Remy.

The 25-year-old Frenchman has been linked with a move to Spurs as the Premier League club look to add extra firepower to their squad.

"I am off to watch Marseille," Redknapp said. "I am going to go and have a look at him [Remy], we have had reports - I watched him 18 months to two years ago. I doubt anything will come of it but we are looking."

Marseille, who are currently seventh in the Ligue 1 table, host Lille on Sunday evening.
