“I thought at the start of the year there were three fantastic free transfers available – David James, Joe Cole and William Gallas. It is a possibility to sign William. His wages aren’t a problem. He has not been greedy at all. His people have rung up and we spoke about it.,” said Redknapp (Spurs manager).

When Redknapp was asked, what he think about Gallas’s arrival from Tottenham’s rival Arsenal, Harry said: “He played for Chelsea as well. We put too much importance on that all the time. If he comes in and plays rubbish then the crowd will slaughter him. If he comes in and plays great they will love him.”

Milan director general Ariedo Braida reveals “it’s not easy to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic, but it is possible.”

“I know Ibrahimovic well and he is a great player. The problem is that Milan have three, four or five forwards for two or three places. In order to sign a new striker, we’d have to sell one. Having said that, everything is possible. Yes, this can happen. It doesn’t just depend on us, as it also depends on Barcelona and the player. It’s not easy to sign Ibrahimovic, but it is possible.”

Ibra is seeking a move after the arrival of World Cup winner David Villa pushed him on to the Nou Camp bench. There have also been reports linking Milan with Barca defender Martin Caceres, who spent last season on loan at Juventus.

“No, that simply is not possible. Milan already have 11 defenders for four places,” director general Braida told Spanish channel RAC-1.
