Tottenham Boss Harry Redknapp Fires Back at Arsenal Keeper Wojciech Szczesny

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is shooting back at outspoken Arsenal goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

Last week, Szczesny made headlines with pointed comments about Spurs' chances over the rest of the season.

Not only did the goalkeeper express hope that his side would overtake Tottenham for third position in the Premier League table, he also backed Chelsea to nip Spurs for the final Champions League spot.

Szczesny said, "We are... behind [Tottenham]. Hopefully, Chelsea can challenge them and I would be really pleased to see them in the Europa League next season."

Never one to shrink from a war of words, Redknapp fired back this week.

"Szczesny says he is coming to get Tottenham? Oh yeah, yeah, he does have a lot to say, Szczesny, doesn't he?" Redknapp said.

"I'm a big fan of his," Spurs' boss continued, "he is a fantastic goalkeeper and he could end up being one of the best goalkeepers in the Premier League, but he does come out with some stuff doesn't he?"

"He is a fantastic goalie, but he should just keep doing what he does."

And Harry wouldn't be Harry if he didn't leave them laughing. Redknapp concluded by reminiscing, "You weren't allowed to speak to the press when I was playing. If you got caught, you got a fine of a week's wages, which was about £7."

Tottenham are currently one point ahead of Arsenal in the battle for third place in the EPL table.
