White Hart Lane chief Redknapp raving about Spurs rising star Assou-Ekotto
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has praised Benoit Assou-Ekotto for his progress this season and for keeping Gareth Bale out of his team. [LNB]Assou-Ekotto was behind Bale, Lee Young-Pyo and Gilberto in the pecking order a year ago but has been a regular under Redknapp since the manager's arrival at White Hart Lane last October. [LNB]Redknapp has been linked with Porto full-back Aly Cissokho but has also been impressed with the improvement from Assou-Ekotto. [LNB][LNB][LNB] Key performer: Assou-Ekotto has put in some fine displays for Tottenham[LNB]'He has done very well,' Redknapp said. 'I think he has been injured before but I have been very impressed with him this season as he has been in great form. He has looked an outstanding left-back.'[LNB]Assou-Ekotto's form means Bale still has not tasted a Premier League victory since arriving from Southampton nearly two years ago. [LNB]On the road: Redknapp wants Spurs to improve away[LNB]His next chance could be the trip to Everton at the weekend. [LNB]After losing only once at White Hart Lane under Redknapp, Spurs are looking to take their home form into their away matches. [LNB]'We look at everything and that's something we need to address,' said assistant boss Kevin Bond. [LNB]'We're looking at how we can improve that away form and be more resolute. [LNB]'It's always going to be more difficult on another team's patch but we've bossed games away from home. [LNB]'We did well at Manchester United but one decision went against us and we shouldn't really have capitulated like we did. [LNB]'Go back to Blackburn as well, we dominated there before losing 2-1. [LNB]'If something goes against us or we concede a goal then we have to be more resilient. We're looking at everything and seeing where we can improve. [LNB]'We've done well at home and if we can get near to that form away from home we'll be a team to be reckoned with.'[LNB] Chelsea and City facing battle with 'everyone in England' for TrezeguetArsenal youngster Ozyakup stuns England but Garbutt Leeds fightbackGomes aims to go from gaffe-maker to record breaker as Spurs aim for EuropeBest Bosmans: Sportsmail's guide to the top out-of-contract players TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
