Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp plans to beat old club West Ham United for Inter Milan midfielder Luis Jimenez.

The Sun says Spurs hope their superior financial clout will lure the £10million-rated Chilean forward to White Hart Lane rather than the East End.

Hammers technical director Gianluca Nani has travelled to Italy to lodge the club's interest in the 24-year-old, who can also play at wing-back.

But Upton Park insiders are aware Tottenham boss Redknapp is also interested as he looks to reshuffle his forward line.
