Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has likened midfielder Wilson Palacios to Manchester United star Wayne Rooney.
Redknapp says he only wants genuine hard workers in his squad.
He explained: "That's what you need if you're going to be a successful team. Wayne Rooney does that. Look at the shift he puts in every time he plays football.
"That's why Rooney is a great footballer. When he plays, he's special. He got four goals against Hull, and probably covered more ground than anyone else on the pitch. He tackled everybody, worked hard, headed the ball and that's why he's so good.
"I need people who are going to work. I want to see people who are going to work and that's what I changed when I came to Tottenham. I changed it from a team which was bottom of the league into a team that works harder.
"I got people in who are going to do that. Players like Palacios, they give everything and that's why we're doing a lot better."
