// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Harry Redknapp is excited by the potential of Aaron Lennon and has paid tribute to his versatility.[LNB] The Tottenham winger, currently struggling with an ankle problem, has made a magnificent start to the season.[LNB]He has produced some dazzling displays for both club and country in his favoured role wide on the right, but Redknapp believes he could also flourish in a more advanced, central position.[LNB]"We actually played him just in behind the strikers at Chelsea," the manager told Hotspur magazine.[LNB]"I'd seen him play well in that role before and there's no doubt that he can play there so it's good to have that versatility up your sleeve. [LNB]"But he's playing fantastically well at the moment, in his regular position wide on the right, and it's his form there that's got him into the England squad. [LNB]"But, as I say, the lad gives us options and that's important."[LNB]FrighteningLennon has added more goals to his game this term and has also looked more composed when he has had the chance to create something for one of his team-mates.[LNB]Redknapp insists there is still room for improvement and he is confident Lennon will go on to become the finished article.[LNB]"He can become very, very good. He's already an excellent player and his pace is frightening," enthused Redknapp.[LNB]"His is a difficult position to play in because you also have to be aware of your defensive responsibilities so he's got to keep learning and improving.[LNB]"But, to give him his due, he is doing that and working hard at his game. He has improved his final ball, for example, and I firmly believe that he can become a top player. [LNB]"We're here to help him and will do all we can but, in the final analysis, it's down to him."[LNB]To order the latest edition of Hotspur magazine, click here.[LNB]
