Spurs will make move for Frank Lampard

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp has said he is ready to make a move for a "special" player in the January transfer window, and Undercover Sport can reveal who he is after - Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard.

It would undoubtedly be one of the most eyecatching transfers of the window, and Redknapp is confident he can carry it off.

The duo already have a close relationship. Redknapp is Lampard's uncle, and managed him at the start of his career at West Ham. He has remained a big admirer of the prolific midfielder ever since.

Privately, Lampard has admitted to those closest to him that he is ready to leave Chelsea.

The 33-year-old has no relationship with Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas, who has made it clear that Lampard is not a surefire starter at the club.

Lampard wants regular games and believes he has another two seasons at the highest level in him. His advisers have been making discreet soundings that he will consider a January move.

So, you heard it here first. Remember Undercover Sport was the ONLY outlet to reveal that Redknapp was going to move to Tottenham (look back in the archive). We have sources in high places.
