Negotiations with Robbie Keane appear to have been untangled, signalling the Irish strikers return from Liverpool after a brief and costly spell at the former title contenders.
Harry Redknapp is said to be delighted that his masterplan was coming together piece by piece after adding Keane to the list of former spurs 'players' making their way back to the club this transfer window.
Having already seen Pascal Chimbonda and Jermaine Defoe return to the club Harry is said to be in talks with Juande Ramos with a view to replacing himself as manager before the deadline passes.
