Spurs confirm interest in Bassong

Monday, 3 August 2009

Harry Redknapp has rubbished reports that Tottenham have submitted a bid for Newcastle defender Sebastien Bassong, while admitting the defender is a player he is interested in.

Reports emerged on Saturday that Newcastle had rejected a £10million bid from Spurs after the club's chief scout watched the 23-year-old Frenchman in a friendly against Leeds in midweek.

But, speaking in Hong Kong following Tottenham's 2-0 defeat to South China in an exhibition match, Redknapp denied the club have made a bid for Bassong.

“It is not true. Not since I have been here today,” he said. “He is a player that I was interested in. I like Bassong, he is a young player with a good future and a good central defender.”

What an epic battle the Champions League Final turned out to be. A clash between an organisation with a long and distinguished history, respected by friend and foe alike up against a relative newcomer, the plaything of a foreign oligarch, who is universally viewed with raised eyebrows.
