David Beckham will be an instant hit with Tottenham fans if the obstacles impeding the midfielder's move to White Hart Lane can be overcome and he finally seals a loan deal with the North London club, Harry Redknapp insists.
Negotiations between Tottenham and Beckham's parent club, Los Angeles Galaxy, were still far from completion last night despite Redknapp being told by a club official that a deal was "going to happen" yesterday after almost a week of talks.
Tottenham were confident of wrapping up an eight-week loan deal for Beckham in time for the former Manchester United midfielder to watch Spurs' FA Cup match against Charlton on Sunday.
The two parties are still some way off agreeing a deal on how Beckham's wages should be paid over the two-month period, however.
Redknapp was nevertheless in buoyant mood about the club's chances of signing Beckham on Friday and is confident that the fans will see past the inevitable media circus that would accompany the global superstar's arrival and recognise his worth to the team.
