Harry Redknapp is set to pull off a stunning £12million raid on Real Madrid to land Lassana Diarra.
Tottenham boss Redknapp wants to team up again with the French midfield enforcer who he managed to FA Cup glory at Portsmouth.
Diarra, 25, has already held talks with Redknapp and told friends that he’s excited about the prospect of another link-up with his former boss.
Diarra would not be eligible for the Champions League having played in it for Real this season.
