Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is set to make West Ham midfielder Scott Parker one of his primary targets this summer. Redknapp has already expressed his interest in Footballer of the Year Parker, who is expected to leave the Championship bound Hammers this summer, but faces possible competition from Arsenal and Liverpool amongst others for the England international’s signature. Parker has been in dazzling form for the Hammers in the 10/11 season and has been their sole silver lining in what has otherwise been a very disappointing season.
Redknapp has also confirmed that over half a dozen players are set to leave Spurs this summer, but the future of Jermain Defoe remains unclear. The Spurs gaffer publicly rebuked Defoe after the latter spoke about his frustration of not being able to play first team football on a regular basis.
