Redknapp worried about Spurs 'mole'
Harry Redknapp insists Tottenham Hotspur have not tried to 'tap up' any players during the transfer window and fears there is a mole at the club.
Spurs have been linked with a host of players this January with many newspapers being able to accurately identify Spurs targets.
Sunderland, West Ham and Portsmouth have all accused Spurs of trying to unsettle their players as the north London club launched bids to try and capture Kenwyne Jones, Craig Bellamy and Jermain Defoe respectively.
However, Redknapp says it is not the club's fault if the papers link Tottenham to those players and insists they have gone about their business appropriately.
Redknapp said: "We haven't tapped anyone up. Am I getting upset because suddenly [Jose] Mourinho says he wants [Jermaine] Jenas? I don't want to sell Jenas. End of story."
"All that's happened with Kenwyne Jones is that the chairman has rung Niall Quinn and what's wrong with that?"
Redknapp fears someone at the club is leaking his plans to the media and is worried about the ease with which it has been achieved.
He added: "Every player I have spoken about is in the newspapers and that means someone at this club is passing information on.
"I'm driving in and [assistant manager] Kevin Bond is reading a list of players who have been spoken about in private."
It is reported that one of Spurs' targets, Craig Bellamy, walked out of West Ham in protest yesterday and demanded a transfer across London to the Lilywhites.

Is it a mole or a man in a tree?
