Lennon will stay, says Redknapp

(GSM) – Harry Redknapp has denied that Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon will leave White Hart Lane soon. Lennon has been in supreme form in the top flight this term, starting 15 games and netting three goals.

Lennon’s top-notch performances have reportedly alerted big clubs. However, Redknapp believes the progress at White Hart Lane this season will help Spurs in their bid to keep their star players.

The Spurs boss said, “Tottenham is a big boy.

“Man United have (Antonio) Valencia who they got in the summer so they don’t need a right-winger. This is a big club.

“He’s still learning the game and getting better and better. He can still keep improving.

“He is a fantastic talent but knows himself he is not the finished article. There is still a long way to go but he’s getting there.”

Redknapp is interested in adding a central midfielder to his squad in January. However, he has denied that he is looking to sign a back-up goalkeeper with Carlo Cudicini being ruled out with a long-term injury.

Redknapp said, “He’s way off, months away from being fit.

“He won’t be fit for January. Ben Alnwick has been in terrific form. Jimmy Walker is a terrific professional so we have back-up and Gomes has been in great form.”
