Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp looks set to make a £6 million bid for Manchester City midfielder Michael Johnson in January.Having recently recovered from a persistent abdominal injury, the 21 year-old midfielder is concerned about his playing chances at the
Eastland club.Redknapp is concerned by his ‘lack of options’ in the centre of the park, but has no plans to bring back
Jamie O’Hara, who is currently on loan at
Portsmouth.Johnson, 21, broke into the City side three years ago but has since lost his place through injury, and has just 60 seconds of Premier League action under his belt this season. He has also fallen behind
Gareth Barry,
Stephen Ireland, Nigel de Jong,
Martin Petrov and
Vincent Kompany in the Blues’ pecking order, and a £6 million bid could tempt Hughes to sell.Redknapp will be keen to bolster his squad, which is currently fifth in the Premier League table but lack strength in depth.Redknapp said: ‘Central midfield is the one area we don’t have a lot of players. We’ve only got
Palacios,
Huddlestone and
Jenas.Redknapp still considers utility man O’Hara surplus to his requirements. He added: “If Portsmouth want to keep Jamie and we’ve got enough players, I’ll have a chat with Paul Hart and see if I can help him out”Powered by: GiveMeFootball.com, the
