Tottenham boss Redknapp excited dealing in Appiah
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has revealed he's ready to offer terms to midfielder Stephen Appiah.
Appiah, who has been a free agent since the summer following a dispute with Turkish side Fenerbahce, looks set to be offered a deal until the end of the season.
The 28-year-old has suffered knee injuries in the past, but Redknapp is confident that will not be a problem and is hoping to arrange a deal.
"I watched him an awful lot for Ghana - about six times - but I ended up taking Sulley Muntari because Juventus were asking £14million for Appiah," said Redknapp.
"Appiah was the captain of Ghana. He played in midfield with (Michael) Essien and Muntari - that was their midfield.
"He was a terrific player but had a bit of a problem with his knee - and he went to Turkey. But he is fine now; he's fit and looks okay.
"He is going to have a week's training. We will have a chat with him; Daniel (Levy, Spurs chairman) will speak to his people and see what the deal is. He is a good player - if he is fit he's a terrific player."

appiah is the real deal he is strong great technique good dribbiler of the ball
and i think that is the best totenham will ever go for with less money
he is the solution to their midfields,players like modric will be quality
players with the ability of quality midfielder liker tonado
Appiah is quality - but he's been a free agent since the summer and no-one has come in for him. He spent time at Arsenal and Pompey in the autumn and they both said no - why? Injury? Attitude? Wages? Wenger might be a myopic t*at but he isnt a bad judge of a player - so whats the problem with Appiah? I hope I'm wrong and that its not just another burnt-out player looking for a soft touch and a big pay-day.
Thank-you for that insight on Appiah, Mark. Certainly if AC Milan wanted to sign him he must be a good player.
