Beckham approached Redknapp Jnr
Harry Redknapp has revealed how his son Jamie alerted him to David Beckham's interest in playing for Tottenham while admitting he is trying to sign him without having seen him play for Los Angeles Galaxy.
Redknapp is waiting to hear whether Beckham would be given permission to move to White Hart Lane on loan until the Major League Soccer season starts in March.
Spurs boss Redknapp has also refused to rule out buying the former England captain if he proves a huge hit in north London. Since revealing he was trying to sign Beckham on Friday - a U-turn on his previous position - Redknapp has repeatedly insisted the decision was a footballing one.
However, he said: "I haven't been to America to watch him play. But it's not like when I was at Bournemouth and we took George Best. We're not trying to fill the stadium, are we? You can't get a seat here anyway. I just genuinely feel he could come here and do a good job for us. When you're looking to hit Crouchy (Peter Crouch), if you're looking for someone to drop a ball on his head from set plays, free kicks, corners, there's no-one better in the world.''
Explaining how he learnt of Beckham's interest, Redknapp said: "He spoke to my son, to Jamie, about it and that's how it all came about. Jamie rang me, said he'd spoken to David Beckham and would we be interested because he'd love to come and play at Tottenham. He just said, 'I'd like to come back and play and I'd fancy playing for Tottenham, because I like the way they play'.''
Despite Beckham's roots being in north London, Spurs reportedly face stiff competition for his signature.
Redknapp joked: "We're 1-100 - he only wants to play for Tottenham ever since he was a young boy. His grandpa was a Spurs supporter. One of us!''
The Galaxy may be reluctant to allow Beckham to move after the midfielder suffered a serious Achilles injury while on a similar loan at AC Milan last year. That was the second of two spells the midfielder spent at the San Siro, during which he admitted being tempted at the prospect of a permanent move.
Asked whether Spurs might launch such a bid were the 35-year-old to star during a loan spell, Redknapp said: "No. No, no, no - it depends how he goes.''
The Spurs boss certainly has a track record of getting the best out of ageing players.
"I just get feelings for people,'' he said. "I brought William Gallas here and everybody said, 'You're effing mad! What are you bringing him here for?' - and how good has he been? What a player! I took Kanu (to Portsmouth) six years ago. People who are supposed to know said, 'He's finished, he's had it,' and he's still playing there now. He scored in the semi-final and the final of the FA Cup for me.''

Everton 2 - 1 Tottenham Hotspur
Spurs come unstuck at Toffees
Everton put Tottenham's title aspirations and ambitious plans to sign David Beckham in the shade with 2-1 victory in a compelling Premier League encounter.
Seamus Coleman grabbed a 75th-minute winner at Goodison Park after the outstanding Rafael van der Vaart had cancelled out Louis Saha's superb early opener.
Both sides had numerous opportunities to win an absorbing contest but it was Everton, rediscovering the spark that has been missing for much of the season, who held on for a victory greeted with much jubilation.
The only consolation for Spurs was that they retained fourth place in the table thanks to yet another defeat for ailing champions Chelsea.
Fans' favourite Robbie Keane was thrown on 10 minutes from time on the day it was confirmed talks had begun over a possible £7million to Birmingham.
But the Republic of Ireland striker could not make a final telling contribution and his Spurs career could now be over.
Spurs were caught cold after just three minutes as Saha finally ended his 11-month league goal drought with a fine strike from 25 yards.
William Gallas backed off his fellow Frenchman outside the area and the striker took full advantage to unleash a ferocious low shot which beat Heurelho Gomes from distance.
The visitors were stung into action and went close as Peter Crouch headed on for Van der Vaart and the Dutchman attempted a left-foot lob from 30 yards which curled narrowly wide.
Everton felt they should have had a penalty after an apparent push by Alan Hutton on Steven Pienaar, but referee Lee Probert saw nothing untoward.
Hutton then compounded Everton's frustration by swinging in the cross from the right which led to Spurs' equaliser after 11 minutes.
Crouch pounced on a Heitinga slip to head the high ball back across goal and Van der Vaart was the first to react, meeting it with a powerful header Tim Howard could not keep out.
Jermaine Beckford had an opportunity for Everton when he turned Gallas inside the box after a neat pass from Saha, but shot well over.
Another shooting chance opened up for Coleman after a slick Everton move but Jermaine Jenas slid in to make a vital block.
Spurs responded as Luka Modric got a sight of goal but Sylvain Distin got in the way.
Crouch thought he had put Spurs ahead on the stroke of half-time when he sidefooted home from a Gareth Bale pass, but the flag was raised for offside.
Van der Vaart then fired narrowly over from a free-kick as Spurs ended the first half in the ascendancy.
Everton boss David Moyes appeared to speak to Probert as the official left the pitch at half-time, possibly about his side's failed penalty appeal, before heading down the tunnel.
But his players remained fully fired up and had the chance to start the second half much as they did the first as Saha released Coleman down the right.
The Irishman raced into the box but ignored Beckford in the middle and shot straight at Gomes.
Spurs suffered a blow as Bale, who had been brought down by Neville while on the charge moments earlier, appeared to limp off after being fouled again just before the hour.
Van der Vaart almost caught Everton out again when he beat Distin on the edge of the box but Howard palmed away his dipping shot.
Everton went straight back onto the attack and Saha met a Coleman cross with a powerful first-time volley but Hutton scrambled back to deflect the goalbound effort wide.
Saha was gifted another chance when a Gallas interception rolled into his path, but Gomes was equal to his shot.
Howard was then called into action twice in quick succession at the other end, first producing a brilliant point-blank save to deny Van der Vaart from six yards after a weaving run by Modric.
Crouch then found space to shoot from distance but Howard tipped the ball over.
Everton threw themselves forward again as Beckford sent Saha clear, and this time it proved decisive.
Saha cut inside and although Gomes parried his long-range piledriver, Coleman followed up to put home the rebound with a diving header.
Ayegbeni Yakubu should have added a third late on when clean through, but dwelt too long on the ball.

FA: No Becks for England
The Football Association has denied any talks have taken place lining up David Beckham for an England management role alongside Harry Redknapp.
A report emerged on Wednesday suggesting the FA had moved to team up Tottenham manager Redknapp with former England captain Beckham to lead the national side when Fabio Capello steps down after Euro 2012.
But an FA spokesman said: "There are no such talks and we have not discussed any potential succession plan with anyone at this point.''
The report indicated FA chiefs had held "informal discussions'' with 63-year-old Redknapp over becoming England boss, with 35-year-old Los Angeles Galaxy midfielder Beckham his assistant, with the long-term plan for the former Manchester United star to take on the top job.
Ironically, Beckham could be managed by Redknapp in the short term if Tottenham secure his services on loan from Los Angeles. The Major League Soccer club has given Beckham permission to make a temporary switch to Europe and Tottenham are one of the frontrunners to sign him.
