But Redknapp insists Mbola is not on his radar - and doesn"t even seem to know where the Pyunik Yerevan player is from!
"I don"t know him," said the Spurs boss. "We had two kids here fromNigeria training, but I don"t know anything about a boy from Angola (sic).
"Maybe the academy have brought him in, but he certainly is not training with the first team."
Mbola qualifies for a European work permit and is also said to have been attracting interest from West Ham United.
