Swansea midfielder Britton aims to get one over Tottenham boss Redknapp

Swansea City midfielder Leon Britton aims to get one over Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp this weekend.

Britton was 16-years-old in Arsenal's academy when Redknapp paid £400,000 to sign him for West Ham in 1998.

He moved to Swansea - then a League Two club - four years later after failing to break into the Hammers first team.

Now, in his second spell with the Swans, Britton, 29, said: "I know Harry well. He brought me to West Ham from Arsenal and showed great faith in me. I don't think he was too pleased after spending £400,000 and then I didn't play in the first team so he may not be happy to see me.

"But he's done a great job at Spurs and he's hot favourite for the England job."
