Redknapp Gets Last Laugh!

The striker has insisted he would consider quitting Anfield only for Fratton Park, knocking back Kevin Keegan's interest and snubbing Tottenham who offered £9m for him less than a fortnight ago.

His wish was granted when the two clubs struck an agreement last night over a deal that will be confirmed when the Football Association offices open on Monday morning.

He made it clear he was prepared to run down the final year of his Liverpool contract rather than be forced into joining any other club, such was his determination to link up with Harry Redknapp and boost the ranks of England players at Fratton Park.

Redknapp, as we all know, turned down the chance to be Newcastle manager when Sam Allardyce was sacked.
