Harry Redknapp has thrown his hat into the ring for the vacant Swansea City manager's job.

The former Spurs boss was speaking to Talksport this morning, after the sacking of Bob Bradley last night.

"I think if the opportunity and the challenge came up it would be one that would be interesting," said the 69-year-old.

"It's a good club Swansea. Where they've come from and what they've done. You go there and the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic for their games at home."

Redknapp did not rule himself out of the running when asked by the host.

"I've not heard anything, I've had no approach from anybody but it's a good club."

At what one point the former Southampton boss appeared to be thinking out loud about the potential signings he would make in January.

"You've got the January transfer window coming up and you can pick up a couple of players and strengthen the squad a bit.

"You can beg Chelsea to let you have John Terry. And there's Frank Lampard too maybe. Who knows, maybe he might say he'll come and play until the end of the season."

Lampard is the nephew of Redknapp and made his debut for Swansea City while on loan from West Ham in 1995.

Redknapp has been out of work since managing the Jordanian national side in two matches.

Despite their poor league position, Redknapp was confident that Swansea could still escape the drop come May.

"I still think they've got a chance of staying up, it'll be tight, but they've got a chance.

"Some way or other they've got to find a way of getting the best out of what they've got, and getting them better organised and getting some belief into them.

"They've got a big centre forward and Sigurdsson is a good player. Montero can play on his day too, he looked like a world beater when he first arrived.

"They're certainly not a basket case at the moment, they're still there with a real chance of staying up.

"It's a good job for somebody that's for sure."
