Tottenham boss Redknapp: Van der Vaart can get 20 goals this season

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes Rafael van der Vaart will get 20 goals for them this season.

Redknapp is convinced that the 27-year-old can continue his scoring form and match the achievements of Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov, who could line up against his previous employers when the two sides meet at White Hart Lane.

"Van der Vaart has been a great player for us," Redknapp said.

"We trained on Tuesday or Wednesday and some of the stuff he did was fantastic. Look at the goals he's scored, and he's not even a striker.

"He can make the pass, make goals, link the play up and also has the ability to score goals.

"He got 20 in Germany one season (with Hamburg) and he looks a 20-goal player in the Premier League, which is fantastic for a player who plays where he plays and how he plays."
