Portsmouth boss Redknapp ready to take Anelka gamble


Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp is chasing Fenerbahce striker Nicolas Anelka.
Redknapp has spent the past few days in Israel with the club's co-owner Sacha Gaydamak and has been told he will get the funding for some massive signings this summer.
The Pompey boss was bankrolled to the tune of £15m to beat the drop last season and there could be a further £30-£40m available to buy the kind of players Redknapp's always wanted.
Anelka is high on Redknapp's shopping list, though he will face competition from Bolton Wanderers for the Frenchman.
