Portsmouth tracking SWP

Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp has hinted that he could make a move for Chelsea winger Shaun Wright Phillips. The England international midfielder has grown frustrated with his lack of opportunities at Chelsea.

Redknapp said: “I haven't spoke to anyone at Chelsea. But I like Shaun. He's a terrific talent.

“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.”
