Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is being lined up for the Ghana job.

The Sun says Redknapp, 70, has applied for the chance to succeed Avram Grant in charge of the Black Stars.

Ex-Chelsea, West Ham and Portsmouth manager Grant stepped down after Ghana's failure at the African Nations Cup in January.

Redknapp is now battling Middlesbrough cult hero Fabrizio Ravanelli, 48, for the vacancy.

A Ghanaian FA source revealed the pair are on a five-man shortlist, together with Frenchman Patrice Carteron and local-born duo James Appiah and Karim Abdul Razak.
