Redknapp waiting for Vieira developments
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is waiting for developments in his efforts to sign former Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira from Inter Milan.[LNB] Redknapp's priority at the moment is for cover at centre-back but he is also in the market for a defensive midfielder and the club have made an enquiry to Real Madrid about Lassana Diarra.[LNB] "Patrick was someone I was interested in but I'm not sure where that's gone. It's not developed," Redknapp said.[LNB] Vieira's wages are thought to be the main obstacle if a move is to be agreed and it would also be a controversial signing after the 33-year-old spent nine years at rivals Arsenal.[LNB] Regarding his interest in Diarra, whom Redknapp signed for Portsmouth from Arsenal, the Spurs boss added: "We spoke to Real Madrid and made an enquiry but there was nothing doing."[LNB] Redknapp has signed Kyle Naughton and Kyle Walker from Sheffield United already this summer, while Didier Zokora has left for Sevilla.[LNB] Redknapp has played down suggestions David Beckham could arrive on loan from Los Angeles Galaxy.[LNB] He told dailymail.co.uk: "David's a great player and a great professional but we have players in that position so nothing will happen there."[LNB] Brazilian defender Gilberto, meanwhile, has left Spurs after his contract with the club was cancelled by mutual consent.
