Harry Redknapp sets his sights on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Phil-Neville-c29904
In a move no one saw coming, Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is set to bring Everton’s Phil Neville to White Hart Lane. It has been reported that talks between the two clubs are underway in order to work out a deal for the Everton captain’s transfer.
Phil Neville has been with the Toffees for more than five years, and it is doubtful whether David Moyes will be willing to let go of one of his most prized assets. The 33-year-old is one of the most experienced defenders in the Premier League today. He has
spent his entire career playing in the English top flight.
Phil Neville started his career with Manchester United, where he played for more than 10 years with his brother, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 international joined Everton back in the summer of 2005, quickly establishing himself as a mainstay of the first
team. He earned the captain’s armband in January 2007.
Now Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is reportedly after the player for his vast knowledge of the League. The Spurs boss is hoping that Neville’s experience can help his side claim their first Barclays Premier League crown in more than 50 years.
Tottenham are reportedly ready to offer 1.5 million pounds for the Everton captain. However, to sweeten the deal, Harry Redknapp is willing to consider a player exchange. David Moyes is said to be interested in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roman-Pavlyuchenko-c31639. Perhaps the Everton manager
can be persuaded to let go of Phil Neville if Pavlyuchenko is thrown into the mix.
Harry Redknapp’s interest in Neville comes just days after the 63-year-old initiated David Beckham’s loan move to White Hart Lane. The Tottenham manager is looking to bring some experience into the squad, hoping that the winning mentality of both Beckham
and Neville will rub off on his players as they look to end their trophy drought.
January 2011 is turning out to be a pivotal month in the League. We will see whether Harry Redknapp is successful or not in his pursuit of Phil Neville in the coming days.
