Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he's long been a fan of Ange Postecoglou.

Ahead of today's derby at Arsenal, Redknapp wrote for The Sun: "When I was manager of Jordan for a short time, we played Ange's Australia side and lost 5-1.

"One of his senior players, Tim Cahill, was so bullish about him that I kept a close eye on how things developed.

"During Ange's time at Celtic, I remember speaking to majority shareholder Dermot Desmond, a very clever man who absolutely loved him. They were choked when he left.

"But I thought he would be right for Tottenham and so far, so good.

"When I came into Spurs, it felt like the club needed a lift and for someone to get among the players.

"Ange has done the same. He's been a breath of fresh air. There's no big ego and no jargon he tells it as it is.

"And of course the style of football is what the Spurs fans like.

"It's great to see Tottenham playing like that and Ange deserves a huge amount of credit."
