Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp hopes to close a deal for West Ham United midfielder Scott Parker this morning.
Parker handed in his transfer request yesterday.
Redknapp said of long-time target Parker: "He's a good player. I think he's what we need. He's a good lad, great attitude.
"Footballer of the year last year and he'll be a good addition for this team - no doubt about that.
"He's a good character, a fantastic person, a proper family man, a real good pro. He'll be great around the place for us."
