Spurs boss refuses to rule out move for Chelsea striker

Anelka’s current contract with the Blues is set to expire at the end of the season.

The 32-year-old is expected to leave Stamford Bridge and has recently been linked with the likes of Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua, AC Milan and several Major League Soccer sides.

“I have always liked him,” said Redknapp.

“I think he is a fantastic goalscorer but he is not a player who I have made any enquiries about or mentioned to the chairman.

“Having said that, I wouldn’t stand here and say, ‘No. Never’, because if I did sign him you would say, ‘What a lying git’. It’s not a bad shout. He’s a good player.”
