Redknapp Checks Out Milito

23 March 2009 16:09
Argentina striker Diego Milito[LNB]was among the players Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp looked at during Genoa's victory over Udinese at the weekend.[LNB]Milito, who has previously been linked with Spurs, was on the scoresheet at Stadio Luigi Ferraris in the 2-0 win that took Genoa to fourth in Serie A, with centre-back Domenico Criscito also impressing.[LNB]Redknapp travelled to Italy the day after Spurs' victory over Chelsea[LNB]and has suggested he will continue to build his squad at White Hart Lane after signing five players during the January transfer window.[LNB]Jermain Defoe[LNB], one of Redknapp's arrivals, has had his protective boot taken off his injured foot and could be back in April.[LNB]That means the striker could play a part in Spurs' push for European qualification through their Premier League finish.[LNB]They are three points behind seventh-placed Wigan, with their recent results helped by the form of goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes[LNB], who has bounced back after a series of high-profile blunders at the start of the season.[LNB]"Harry Redknapp has trusted me, which has been a key factor to improve my football within the team," Gomes told O Globo.[LNB]The Brazilian's stunning save from John Terry[LNB]enabled Spurs to record a victory over Chelsea at the weekend.[LNB]"I was very excited after the Chelsea game because the fans offered me a standing ovation," Gomes added.[LNB]"That is one of the reasons why I moved to England[LNB]and rejected big offers in the summer.[LNB]"In the last few months, I didn't feel good because I was the target of criticism. It was not fair but I accepted it and right now things are much better.[LNB]"Hearing the fans sing your name is something special and is great for every player and even more for a foreigner."[LNB]Gomes added: "If we played like we're playing now at the start of the season, who knows what sort of position we might be in now.[LNB]"But there's no point in looking back on what might have been, because now we have got ourselves in a good position."[LNB]More news from SportingLife.com[LNB]  Email[LNB] Share[LNB] Delicious[LNB] Digg[LNB] Facebook[LNB] Stumbleupon[LNB] Reddit[LNB] Newsvine[LNB] document.getElementById("ynw-universal-sharing").innerHTML += "Print[LNB]"; Comment 1 - 11 of 11Sort comments by:Most recentEach to their own as we all should say - guys - no need­ to be viscous.
