Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is willing to discuss a swap deal for Blackburn Rovers striker Roque Santa Cruz.

The People says Redknapp is counting on getting him for about £12m, with the possibility of players in exchange.

Santa Cruz has made no secret of his desire to leave Ewood Park. He was widely expected to join ex-boss Mark Hughes at Manchester City. But with Hughes uncertain to be at City next season that avenue of escape looks blocked.
