Liverpool are ready to move for Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp.

Sky Sports says sources suggest Liverpool are planning a shock move for Redknapp following the departure of Rafa Benitez.

Reds chief Kenny Dalglish knows Redknapp well having brought his son Jamie to Anfield in January 1991 when he was at the helm of the five-time European champions and the two families have been close ever since.

The former Bournemouth, West Ham, Southampton and Portsmouth manager has transformed the fortunes of the White Hart Lane club since replacing Juande Ramos in October 2008.

Redknapp has only one year remaining on his current contract at White Hart Lane and talks over a new deal are yet to take place.
