Redknapp confirms interest in Van der Vaart

Harry Redknapp has confirmed he is interested in bringing former Tottenham playmaker Rafael van der Vaart to QPR.

The 31-year-old Dutchman, who played under the Rangers boss at White Hart Lane, is currently with German club Hamburg.

And Redknapp, who is keen to sign at least one ‘number 10’ this summer, would like to be reunited with him if a deal can be agreed.

He said: “He’s a great footballer, great professional and a goalscorer – he’d get you 10 to 12 goals a year in that position.

“I like Rafa. He’s an interesting player and has got class.”

Van Der Vaart scored a total of 24 goals in 63 Premier League appearances during a two-year spell at Spurs, who signed him from Real Madrid in 2010.
