Harry Redknapp believes that Tottenham Hotspur duo Scott Parker and Kyle Walker are valuable players for England.

The 64-year-old has praised his team for impressing during their respective international friendlies despite the majority of managers' general discontent during breaks with the national teams.

"Scott was great against Spain," Harry told the club's official website. "It was a difficult game but we hung in there and took our chance when it came. Scott was massive in front of the back four. "It was great to see Kyle make his debut and do so well. Hopefully he has got a big international future in front of him.

"I was delighted to see Croatia qualify for the European Championships. It is great for the lads, they deserved that and it will be another three players for Tottenham fans to watch in the Euro finals next year.

"Hopefully Younes [Kaboul] can get in the French team and then we have got the English boys and [Roman Pavlyuchenko] playing for Russia, so it will be a good summer."

The former Portsmouth boss could return to the Spurs touchline against Aston Villa on Monday after undergoing minor heart surgery earlier this month.
