Tottenham offered Brazilian star Fabiano

The Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that he has been offered the Brazilian superstar striker Luis Fabiano, who scored three goals for his country at this summers World Cup Finals, but he is unsure if the North London club could afford his wages.

Redknapp said: “Yes, I like him. He’s a fabulous player and would be brilliant addition to any team.

“It was put to us that he might be available but we’ve not made contact with his club Sevilla and, to be perfectly honest, I haven’t sat down to discuss any transfer targets with our chairman Daniel Levy, apart from trying to do a deal with Joe Cole.

“I am not unhappy with the squad I have, but of course if a special player came along I would look at it, and Fabiano is a special player all right.

“For sure, he is a class act, but I don’t know what he earns. He might be on mega money, so it might prove to be impossible for us.”
