Harry Redknapp denies making an enquiry over Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka, but reveals that he would consider signing the "fantastic" forward.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp has refused to rule out a January move for Chelsea striker Nicolas Anelka.

The 32-year-old forward, who has become out of favour at Stamford Bridge, has been linked with a move away from the former Premier League champions.

"I have always liked him," said Redknapp. "I think he is a fantastic goalscorer but he is not a player who I have made any enquiries about or mentioned to the chairman.

"Having said that, I wouldn't stand here and say, 'No. Never', because if I did sign him you would say, 'What a lying git'. It's not a bad shout. He's a good player."

The former Liverpool frontman recently stated that he will honour his contract at Chelsea until the end of the season.
