Tottenham boss Redknapp wants Lennon on left and Bale, er, on right

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is happy switching his wingers around.

Redknapp feels he can get more from Aaron Lennon on the left, so switching Gareth Bale to the right.

"Aaron's been in good form lately," said Redknapp. "[But] I think he's better on the left than on the right, in all honesty.

"When he comes on the left, like he did at Fulham and against Bolton, he can score. He likes to duck inside on his right foot, or he can take it past you.

"I think he gets more opportunities to score goals when he plays on the left. On the other side he tends to go one way.

"When he gets on the left side, he squares people up and he can come inside around the box and he's got that shot on all the time. I think he's happier on the left.

"But Gareth's happy on the right, too. He plays there for Wales."
