Portsmouth want to keep James

Harry Redknapp has rejected rumours that David James is looking for a move away from Portsmouth. Tottenham are one of the clubs linked with the goalkeeper and are supposedly ready to offer £5 million for the former Liverpool keeper.

"I saw something about him going to Spurs in the summer, as he is out of contract," said Redknapp.

"I don't know where that one has come from. He only signed a new contract with us last year and he will be with us for a long time yet."

Redknapp backed James to push for a place in the 2010 World Cup.

"There's no reason why he can't make the World Cup in 2010 because he will play on for a long time yet," added Redknapp.

"He's such a perfectionist and is a great trainer. He is absolutely dedicated and he is in such great condition."
