Tottenham boss Redknapp confirms interest for Palermo ace Cavani

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed his interest in Palermo striker Edinson Cavani.

The Uruguay international is regarded highly by Redknapp, who admits he is having the youngster scouted.

"We are following what Cavani is doing in the league, like we follow other players around Europe," Redknapp told reterete24.it. "My scouts have developed positive reports on him and I have personally watched a few games in the boxes of Palermo.

"The fact that we're following him does not mean, however, that there is already a deal. I think we will decide by the end of the season. For Cavani, we will see in the future if this player can be really helpful to our cause."
