King set for surgery
Harry Redknapp has indicated Tottenham Hotspur defender Ledley King will undergo further surgery on his troublesome knees this summer.

King,
31, has been hampered with chronic knee problems during his career, and
the centre-back combats the issue by barely training with the Tottenham
first-team squad.
He has managed 21 Premier League starts this
season, but has missed Spurs' last three matches, after enduring yet
further fitness issues.
King's current deal at White Hart Lane
expires this summer, and manager Redknapp is hopeful the stopper will be
rewarded for his loyalty as he continues to strive to be available for
the side.
Redknapp told The Times: "For the sake of the
club and the team, he has tried to play on, but he has been playing in
pain and his movement's not been as good.
"Hopefully, we'll get
his knee cleared out in the summer and he will be right again. I'm sure
the chairman (Daniel Levy) respects everything he has done for the club
and we'd love to keep him around."
