We need somebody on the right and Beckham wants to come - Tottenham's Redknapp

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is adamant that David Beckham would be the perfect fit for the club if he was to join on loan during the winter transfer market.

The ex-Manchester United and Real Madrid has reportedly told Redknapp he would like to land at White Hart Lane for a spell and the Spurs manager has welcomed the interest, saying Beckham would be great out in the right for his team.

"We've got no-one else to play on the right," he said.

"David Bentley keeps picking up injuries on Friday morning. It's a no brainer.

"When I took Teddy Sheringham to Portsmouth, I used to just say 'Watch him train. Watch everything he does. He does it 100 per cent right'.

"And I think Beckham's like that. They tell me after training, he spends an hour out there practising.

"If young players see that, it's better than all the coaching in the world."
