Harry solves puzzle

Harry Redknapp claims he will succeed where Martin Jol and Juande Ramos have failed by turning Jermain Defoe and Robbie Keane into an effective attacking partnership for Tottenham.

When Defoe returns from a foot injury in 10 weeks, Spurs boss Redknapp will have to work out how to accommodate his £32million strikers.

Jol and Ramos believed Defoe and Keane were too similar to play together and it was a lack of first-team chances that saw Defoe quit Spurs to join Portsmouth. Keane is likely to start alongside Roman Pavlyuchenko against Arsenal on Sunday following his £16m return to Spurs from Liverpool and Redknapp said: "I don't see a problem. Robbie and Jermain can play together. They are good players and good players can always play together."

Such is Redknapp's admiration for Keane that he has handed him the captaincy, meaning Ledley King - who is likely to miss the clash with the Gunners with a hamstring problem - steps down after four years leading the team.
