David James’ cancelled move to Stoke City Football Club could alert Harry Redknapp.

The England international was on the verge of a loan move to the Britannia Stadium last week, but the move collapsed as they wanted Portsmouth to pay his wages.

Redknapp, who had the 39-year-old as his number one at Fratton Park, has long been a huge fan of the shot-stopper, and is being tipped to make a move to sign him ahead of the deadline.

However, Heurelho Gomes has been in fine form for Spurs of late, and as tempting as a White Hart Lane move would be, James is eager for regular first team football.

With the World Cup Finals on the horizon at the end of the season, Fabio Capello is unlikely to pick anyone not being picked by his club, which will play a huge role in any potential deal.
