Redknapp to rescue Portsmouth from Kanu’s grip

Harry Redknapp has vowed to step in and help save Portsmouth from extinction.

Pompey’s administrators have warned that the club will go bust if they do not get their finances in order by August 10.

The League One team need to sell players or persuade them to agree wage cuts to stay afloat.

But they are in dispute with striker Kanu and defender Tal Ben Haim, who are owed millions of pounds.

Kanu has lodged a legal claim for £3m in unpaid fees.

Former Fratton Park boss Redknapp said: “I will be ringing Kanu to see if there is anything I can do.

“I signed him for Portsmouth on a one-year contract and Tony Adams told me: ‘You must be mad, he is finished’. Six years later, he is still there.”
