Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has told Mexican playmaker Giovani dos Santos that he must quit partying if he is to truly fulfil his potential.[LNB] Dos Santos has struggled to feature regularly for Spurs and has spent time on loan at Ipswich and Galatasaray following his move from Barcelona in 2008.[LNB]The 21-year-old was late for training because of his clubbing habits, according to Redknapp, who believes the schemer can be a 'top player' if he tries.[LNB]And after an impressive World Cup finals with national team Mexico, the White Hart Lane chief is looking forward to seeing if the midfielder can change his ways this season.[LNB]"If he could pass a nightclub as well as he can pass a ball, he would be all right," Redknapp said in the Daily Star.[LNB]"His mum and dad came over to see me last year and he apologised because they realised he wasn't dedicated.[LNB]"He's got bags of ability and fantastic skill. Suddenly he was late on Monday mornings...upset stomach.[LNB]"He'd probably been in Barcelona partying somewhere. He has had a great World Cup. If he knuckles down this year, he could be a top player."
