Harry Redknapp has blasted West Ham United for claiming that Spurs have made Scott Parker unsettled.
Tottenham’s offer for the England international was reported to be £7million, which was rejected out of hand by the Hammers.
“Who made it public that we’ve made an offer?” Redknapp said.
“You can make an offer for a player if you want to. Someone can make an offer for anybody.
“I’m sure (chairman Daniel Levy) must have had some encouragement or he wouldn’t have made an offer.
“So I don’t think the full story has been told about that one. The chairman wouldn’t have made an offer unless he thought there was a chance they wanted to do something.”
Redknapp added: “As far as I’m concerned Tottenham have acted totally within the rules.
“Any club is perfectly entitled to make an inquiry about a player from another club.
“This club has behaved correctly. We approached West Ham through the proper channels.”
