Birmingham manager Harry Redknapp has admitted he's very keen to sign his Tottenham old boy Benoit Assou-Ekotto, but there's a catch: the player reportedly wants to be a pornstar.

Redknapp was speaking on the Spurs Show podcast and revealed Assou-Ekotto might well end up in Brummie blue next season, once he puts his career change on hold for another year.

The 33-year-old Cameroonian defender has been playing in France since leaving Redknapp's QPR in 2014, having played a season at Saint Etienne before joining Metz.

Redknapp revealed to the Spurs Show how he received a call from an agent offering him his former left-back if he was to take the job at Birmingham.

Harry Redknapp on Benoit Assou-Ekotto

He was mad, Benoit, but do you know what? I think I’m mad as well!

I got a phone call - it’s the gospel truth. I agreed I might go to Birmingham and suddenly I get a phone call from this guy.

‘Oh Mr Redknapp, I’ve got a fantastic player for you’.

Oh yes?

‘One of your old players’.

Yes.

'Benoit'.

No! But seriously you know what? I’m thinking: Yeah! Somewhere inside I’m thinking I can get him going again.

The only trouble is that he’s admitted he wants to be a pornstar.

Maybe I can get another year out of him before he decides to do that. What a good player. He could well end up in the Birmingham colours next year, Benoit.
