Palacios vital for Spurs - Redknapp

17 September 2009 16:30
Harry Redknapp believes Wilson Palacios has developed into a "vital player" for Tottenham. The powerful Honduran midfielder has been a key figure in Spurs' revival under Redknapp following his £12million move from Wigan in January. Spurs were languishing in 15th when Palacios arrived at White Hart Lane - but they went on to finish eighth and started this campaign with four straight victories. Redknapp said: "He's a vital player for us. He gets after the ball, he works, he's strong. His attitude as well, the way he trains ever day. "He might give the ball away occasionally but he works hard to get it back and he's a big factor in our improvement. He puts a shift in when he doesn't have the ball. "That attitude has rubbed off on everyone."
