Harry Redknapp’s latest interest is Swansea midfielder Joe Allen
What will January bring? For Tottenham Hotspur, possibly impressive ‘playmaker’ Joe Allen for a bid of up to £10 million. The Welsh international has Redknapp eager to buy, and Spurs chairman Daniel Levy willing to foot the bill.
This massive sum comes because of Allen’s fresh 5 year contract at the Liberty Stadium, and with a superb season already, Swansea’s Brendan Rogers would be far from keen to let him go. I think it would not take much persuasion however for the Premiership climbers to accept the £10 million offer.
As well as an impressive season, People.co.uk hint that Redknapp’s decision to buy Allen may be helped by the players international connection with Gareth Bale, who had previously talked about the possibility of a short future at the club. Regardless of this, Allen would be a vital replacement with wavering midfielder Luka Modric, who’s future at the club remains ‘up in the air’.
