Redknapp eyes van Nistelrooy

LONDOD: Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp said on Tuesday he was pondering bringing Real Madrid striker Ruud van Nistelrooy (pictured) back to the Premier League in a loan move.

The 33-year-old former Manchester United forward is struggling to get into Real's first team and his lack of match prastie is threatening his chances of making the Dutch squad for this year's World Cup finals in South Africa.

However, it would appear Russia striker Roman Pavlyuchenko would have to leave Spurs to make room for van Nistelrooy, who was most recently linked with Turkish giants Galatasaray and whom he declared an interest in joining.
