Harry Redknapp has not given up hope of agreeing a deal that will allow David Beckham to play for Tottenham, but thinks any attempt to sign Everton captain Phil Neville would be a 'difficult one'.
Former Manchester United star Beckham wants to secure a European loan move away from parent club LA Galaxy in order to maintain full fitness in the MLS close-season and ensure he remains in the thoughts of England manager Fabio Capello.
The 115-time international spent Monday at Spurs' training ground as he was assessed by the club's medical team in an attempt to prove he is 100 per cent fit after sustaining the Achilles injury last March which ruled him out of the 2010 World Cup.
Reports have suggested Tottenham have doubts about paying speculated wages of £80,000 a week for a man who is not guaranteed to play, while there are also issues surrounding the release from Galaxy and the payment of insurance.
Redknapp is eager to be able to select Beckham, but he confesses that a deal is proving difficult, as he told Front News: "It is great to have him here.
