HARRY REDKNAPP has distanced himself from speculation linking him with the vacant Liverpool job and backed Kenny Dalglish to take over at Anfield.[LNB]Former Reds striker Robbie Fowler is among those who have hailed the Tottenham manager as the perfect replacement for Rafa Benitez at Anfield.[LNB]Redknapp has transformed Spurs from relegation candidates to Champions League qualifiers in the space of 18 months.[LNB]However, the 63-year-old insists he has no intention of leaving White Hart Lane for Merseyside and wants to sign a new contract to extend his stay in the capital.[LNB] 'I am not being presumptuous turning down Liverpool, because I haven't been offered the job and haven't spoken to anyone about it,' he said.[LNB]'There is no need, as I have one year left on my contract at Tottenham and I am not thinking about anything other than being at White Hart Lane next season.[LNB]'I can tell you that I have not been offered a new contract, but that doesn't mean I am looking to move on - far from it.[LNB]'I am loyal to Spurs, I want to stay at Spurs and I have a contract with Spurs, and I'd be happy to sign a new contract at Spurs if I was offered one, but in any case I have one year on my contract.'[LNB]Redknapp believes Dalglish, who is leading the search for Benitez's successor, is the ideal candidate to take over as manager.
