Tottenham Hotspur captain Ledley King has revealed that the entire squad want Harry Redknapp to stay at the club.

Redknapp has been widely tipped as the man to replace Fabio Capello as the next manager of England.

King has praised the way in which the 64-year-old has transformed Tottenham's fortunes since he joined the club and is keen for Redknapp to continue his work.

"As a group of players we love him and hopefully he will stay," said King. "This sort of speculation always happens in football, but we would love to keep him.

"Harry has brought the club on massively. We were bottom of the league when he first came in and the results picked up immediately. Straight away he showed his people skills, his ability to lift players even when their confidence was low.

"He has gone from strength to strength, brought in some good, experienced players who know what it takes. It has been really good."

Redknapp took charge of Spurs in 2008.
