Redknapp makes his move for midfielder

West Ham have confirmed they are in talks with Tottenham over a move for midfielder Scott Parker. Parker has been linked with a transfer ever since the Hammers suffered relegation last season but despite being open to such a move, he has started the season under Sam Allardyce in the Championship. Premier League new boys Queens Park Rangers saw a £4million bid turned down for Parker earlier this month, while the likes of Stoke and Aston Villa have also been credited with an interest in the former Chelsea man. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp is a long-time admirer of the England international and despite previously playing down any move for Parker he has now made an approach for the 30-year-old. Redknapp is keen to bolster his squad before the transfer window slams shut next Wednesday and he will now be hoping to lure Parker to White Hart Lane. Allardyce confirmed talks were underway between both clubs about a possible deal. "I am not in talks (personally) with them but there is some dialogue going on at the moment. That is all I am aware of," admitted Allardyce.
