Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp will try again for Sunderland striker Kenwyne Jones at the end of the season.

The People says Redknapp failed to sign the Trinidad and Tobago hitman in January despite a whopping £15million bid but could finally get his man following a dramatic U-turn by Ricky Sbragia.

Stadium of Light chief Sbragia blasted Redknapp's transfer window pursuit of Jones and insisted the player would stay.

The 24-year-old underlined his commitment by signing a new four-and-a-half-year contract.

But Sbragia is believed to have changed his mind about a player who has struggled since battling back from a knee ligament injury against England 10 months ago.

A Sunderland source said: "It's clear if Harry Redknapp was to come back with the same sort of money he offered in January then Sunderland would do business this summer."

Wheeler-dealer Redknapp could even get his man with a cash-plus-player deal involving Spurs misfit Darren Bent.
