Redknapp: Palacios has been massive for Spurs

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has again highlighted the influence of Wilson Palacios since his January arrival from Wigan Athletic.

Redknapp told Hotspur magazine: "One or two players have made a difference here. Wilson Palacios has made a massive impact on this club - he gets on with it. He's strong, aggressive and a big player for us.

"Sebastien Bassong has come in alongside the likes of Ledley King, Michael Dawson, Jonathan Woodgate, while Robbie Keane's back and he's a buzzy character around the place.

"We've brought a few players in and it has changed the mood. They see the likes of Wilson come in who work and close down and it rubs off on other people.

"You need players like that. He walks round like he's pleased to be here and appreciates everything. He's not a big-time Charlie. You need more people like that around you."
