Pascal Chimbonda is on the verge of joining Blackburn Rovers, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has confirmed.

The full-back was due to be in the Tottenham squad for the Carling Cup win against Doncaster, but left the squad to hold talks with Rovers.

“Well I sold one (a player) on the way up here, we sold Chimbonda,” Redknapp told Sky Sports News.

“Well I think he was sold, he came up on the plane then he travelled across to Blackburn I think.

“The chairman agreed a fee with Blackburn for him so he travelled over there. I don’t know if the deal has been done but certainly it’s very close to being done so we ended up one short but it’s not a problem.”
