Harry Redknapp dismisses claims he tried to sell Gareth Bale in his early Tottenham days
Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has rubbished rumours he tried to sell Gareth Bale during his time at White Hart Lane.Redknapp was Spurs boss during Bales meteoric rise to stardom, as the Welshman transformed from a bit-part player to a world beater.However, Bales Tottenham career got off to a dreadful start following his 10million move from Southampton in 2007.Amazingly, the club did not record a single victory in any of Bales first 24 appearances, leading many to question whether he should be picked.Bale became one of Tottenham’s greatest ever playersGetty3
Bale became one of Tottenham’s greatest ever players
And rumours emerged to suggest Redknapp was listening to offers as low as 3million from Birmingham, Nottingham Forest, and Fulham.However, in 2009, Redknapp said: “I’m not looking for a left-back because you won’t get a better one than Gareth Bale.”His faith was eventually repaid as Bale moved forward to left-wing and became one of Tottenhams greatest ever players. Despite his recent struggles at Real Madrid, whom he joined for 85m in 2013, he remains among the worlds top talents, and Redknapp says it’s ludicrous to think he wouldve ever sold the Welshman.He was fantastic,” Redknapp told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast.Maicon was supposed to be the best right-back in the world and he almost ended his career at the San Siro. He was amazing.Someone came up with a rumour that I was trying to loan him out to Coventry or something, never at any time.Redknapp claims he always rated Bale3
Redknapp claims he always rated Bale
I watched him play for Tottenham while I was manager of Portsmouth, in a game against Fulham, and I thought, What a player this guy is.Bale finally broke his winless hoodoo as a late substitute during the 5-0 victory over Burnley in 2009, and Redknapp admits it was a conscious decision to end the curse.If he came on as sub he didnt win, if he started we didnt win.

So I stuck him on against Burnley when we were 3-0 up with six minutes to go.

The home side thought they had won it in the eight added minutes, only for Leon Clarke’s header to be disallowed for offside – with TV replays showing it possibly should have stood.Norwich had come flying out of the blocks and top scorer Pukki almost got himself on the end of good work from Onel Hernandez and Todd Cantwell, but Wigan were able to clear.Wigan too showed up well in the early stages, with Gavin Massey and Morsy both having decent shooting chances that they could not make the most of.Clarke, on loan from Sheffield United, headed wide from a James cross, before Norwich came within inches of nosing head.Marco Stiepermann’s cross from the left took a touch off a defender on the way through and somehow evaded Pukki at the far post.But Wigan ended the half on top and deservedly took the lead on the scoreboard.Chelsea loanee James netted the opener for the Latics2

Lee Evans forced a great save from Tim Krul with a diving header from Antonee Robinson’s cross.But the home side were awarded a controversial penalty when Morsy’s shot from 20 yards was adjudged to have struck a City player’s arm in the box.Referee James Linington pointed to the spot, and James beat Krul with a clinical spot-kick.Norwich had a chance to level within three minutes of the restart, only for Christian Walton to pull off a fine save to deny Hernandez, with Danny Fox clearing upJames almost made it 2-0 to Wigan with a stinging drive from 25 yards that cleared the bar by a yard. The home side came closer still when, after a 50-yard run from Kal Naismith, Clarke beat the last man and tried to poke the ball over Krul, who managed to divert it inches past the far post.James sent other free-kick inches over the top before Norwich made a triple switch with 15 minutes to go, to try to find a way back in.Morsy almost doubled Wigan’s lead only to see his effort fly over off a Norwich shin before the visitors found their equaliser 10 minutes to go.Kenny McLean did the groundwork in feeding Pukki, who outpaced the Wigan cover before sliding the ball under Walton.There was still time for Wigan to almost pinch it, but Clarke’s header, from James’ free-kick, was chalked off for offside.

Arsenal transfer news: Gunners to revive interest in Ever Banega when summer window opens
Arsenal will make another move to sign Ever Banega when the summer transfer window opens, according to reports.Banega, the Sevilla midfielder, was heavily linked with a switch to north London last year after Unai Emery succeeded Arsene Wenger as Gunners boss.Emery and Banega have enjoyed two successful spells together1
Emery and Banega have enjoyed two successful spells together
Emery has twice before worked with the 30-year-old, first during a spell at Valencia before the manager took Banega with him when taking charge of Sevilla.He wanted to reunite with Banega for the third time last summer, but failed, while talks of a January swoop for the Argentina international also collapsed due to a lack of funds.However, Arsenal will make a renewed approach for Banega when the transfer window reopens this summer, according to The Mirror. The Gunners are losing Aaron Ramsey from their midfield so need to bring a new player in, with the club hoping Denis Suarez is a hit following his loan move from Barcelona.Arsenal can buy Suarez outright for 18million before his loan expires, while Banega is reportedly valued slightly cheaper at 17million.As well as midfield reinforcements, Arsenal want a new left back and a wide forward brought to the Emirates throughout the summer transfer window.

Liverpool will be without key defender Virgil van Dijk for the first-leg of their Champions League last 16 clash with Bayern Munich.The Reds welcome the Bundesliga champions to Anfield tonight and Van Dijks absence has given Jurgen Klopp a major headache.Van Dijk was booked for this challenge on Dries Mertens during Liverpool’s group stage campaign, which has ruled him out of the first leg against Bayern3

With Joe Gomez still injured and Dejan Lovren unlikely to feature, Klopp will have to deploy a makeshift back-four for the crucial game.Heres why Klopp has been dealt the untimely blow and what he may do to combat it.

Why is Virgil van Dijk not facing Bayern Munich?

Van Dijk is suspended for the clash having picked up three yellow cards in the group stage of the Champions League.Surprisingly the Dutchman has only been booked four times in all competitions this term but his trio of cautions in Europe have seen him banned.Jurgen Klopps Liverpool face Bayern Munich this week3
Jurgen Klopps Liverpool face Bayern Munich this week

Who will Jurgen Klopp pick instead?

As Van Dijk and Gomez are out and Lovren is struggling with a hamstring issue, midfielder Fabinho could join Joel Matip in central defence.At his pre-match press conference, Klopp said: “Dejan, we have yet to see.“Fabinho – if [he plays in defence] – in the Champions League, against Bayern Munich, it’s not an easy job.“But because we thought it makes sense that we don’t leave our last row alone defending against Bayern, it depends all on how we defend in general, so that’s it.Liverpool midfielder Fabinho could join Joel Matip in central defence against Bayern Munich3
Liverpool midfielder Fabinho could join Joel Matip in central defence against Bayern Munich
“There will be a lot of moments where we have to defend and we’ve worked on that. We tried to work on that because we respect the quality of Bayern Munich a lot – speed, technique, experience, it’s all there what you need to be successful.”Lovren, who hasnt played since early January, did not take part in the open section of Liverpools training session that followed Klopps press conference on Monday.

Will Virgil van Dijk be back for the second-leg?

Yes, the 27-year-old will be available for the return leg in Germany on March 13.He would then pick up another suspension should be receive a fifth yellow card later in the competition.

Manchester United fans’ chant about Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk has come back to haunt them
Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk must surely go down as one of the best signings of the Premier League era.Since joining the Reds from Southampton for 75million in January 2018, he has transformed Jurgen Klopp’s side from a defensive mess to Europe’s most difficult team to score against.Van Dijk was named PFA Player of the Year1
Van Dijk was named PFA Player of the Year
No club in Europe’s top leagues have conceded fewer goals than Liverpool this season – and Van Dijk’s influence was recognised at Sunday night’s PFA Awards.The Dutchman beat Manchester City’s Raheem Sterling to win the prestigious Player of the Year award, however, not everyone was convinced when Liverpool made him the world’s most expensive defender.No one is talking about his price tag now, and you might even say 75million was a relative bargain, but Manchester United fans did not see this coming. Before Van Dijk had even made his Liverpool debut, some Red Devils supporters came up with a chant mocking their rivals over the money they spent on signing the former Saints man.They even described the Dutchman as a poor man’s Phil Jones. You can see the video below:The lyrics are: “You’ve got Van Dijk, Virgil van Dijk. I just don’t think you understand. 75 mil, he’s just a s*** Phil, you’ve got Virgil van Dijk.Since then, there really can be no comparison between Jones and Van Dijk.Jones has endured another injury-stricken season, while the Red Devils have conceded 51 league goals.
