Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has revealed that he would be willing to bring Carlos Tevez to White Hart Lane, according to The Mirror.

The striker is expected to leave Manchester City after he was recently charged with refusing to warm up during the Blues' Champions League match against Bayern Munich last month.

Despite the furore surrounding Tevez, Redknapp has said that he would be interested in a loan deal for the player.

"I would take him if he were available for sure," he said. "If Manchester City want to let me have him on loan and subsidise it, I'll take him tomorrow.

"Say what you like, he's a world-class player and the one criticism you can't level at him is he doesn't work his socks off when he plays.

"He's a ­handful and I'm only ­interested what he does when he plays. World-class players are in very short supply."

Spurs travel to Blackburn Rovers in the Premier League later today.
