Harry Redknapp admits he would 'love' to take Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips to Portsmouth.
But Pompey boss unsure how much Chelsea would want for winger
Harry Redknapp admits he would 'love' to take Chelsea winger Shaun Wright-Phillips to Portsmouth.
Wright-Phillips is still striving to establish himself as a fixture in the Chelsea side three years after his £21million move from Manchester City.
He recently stated his intention to still be at Stamford Bridge next season and has two years left on his current contract.
Pompey boss Redknapp is unsure of his prospects of agreeing a deal for Wright-Phillips, but would relish the chance to sign a winger of the 26-year-old's calibre.
"I haven't spoke to anyone at Chelsea," Redknapp told
The News. "But I like Shaun. He's a terrific talent.
Excellent player
"I wouldn't know how much Chelsea wanted for him, though, if they were going to sell.
"Maybe they would want to wait until a new manager comes in.
"But equally they may not need a new manager to come in before they sell someone. I wouldn't know how Chelsea run their affairs.
"The player may want to wait until a new manager comes in and have a look at things then.
"But maybe he would look at his situation there and think he wanted to leave.
"Of course he's the type of player I would love to have, though. He's an excellent player."
