Redknapp ready to snare Chelsea striker Drogba for Tottenham if available
April 23rd, 2011 - 11:58 am ICT by ANI
London, Apr. 23 (ANI): Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has said that he is ready to rope in the services of Chelsea striker Didier Drogba this summer if he was up for sale, saying that he was “still a superb player.”
“He’s a fantastic centre-forward - power, strength, he’s got everything. He plays for Chelsea and until they decide otherwise, you can’t speculate about his future. But he’s a good player,” The Telegraph quoted Redknapp, as saying.
Drogba has a year left on his Chelsea contract and is unlikely to receive the assurances he wants that he remains the club’s first-choice striker, especially after the arrival of 50 million pound Liverpool striker Fernando Torres.
Chelsea, however, has not decided whether to sell and will certainly not let Drogba go without a substantial transfer fee being paid. They may also prefer him to move abroad, to Marseille, than go to Spurs. (ANI)
