Harry Redknapp is keen to give John Bostock a chance at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club.

The 16-year-old midfielder arrived at White Hart Lane in a controversial £2million summer move from Crystal Palace, and he is set for a place on the bench in the Uefa Cup clash against Dinamo Zagreb.

"He's on the bench and I'd love to get him on the pitch," Redknapp said. "He's only 16, a kid with terrific talent and a lovely left foot. He is a special young player with terrific ability, how far he goes is up to him.

"With all young players it will be up to them how hard they want to work at their game. I'd love to get some of the youth team into the first team, that is the long-term aim."
