Lennon to play as a striker?

Robbie Keane

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is hoping that Robbie Keane will be fit to face Blackburn on Saturday.

The Irish striker missed the 1-1 draw with Sunderland due to an ankle injury and Harry is left with a striker selection problem due to Pav’s back injury.

This has left the Spurs boss tempted to play Aaron Lennon in a forward role just off Peter Crouch.

“I could do with Robbie if Pavlyuchenko’s got a bad back,” said Redknapp. “It leaves me with only Crouchy.

“I’ve got no-one else I can push up front, really, even (Aaron) Lennon, who could play through the middle at a pinch.”
