HARRY REDKNAPP is set to hijack Arsene Wenger’s bid to snare Kaka on a loan deal from Real Madrid.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is confident he can convince the Brazil star to come to White Hart Lane to reignite his career – and he has the Bernabeu giants’ backing for his bid.

Madrid snubbed Wenger’s approach to take Kaka to The Emirates because they are not keen on loaning him to a side challenging in the Champions League.

With Tottenham in the Europa League and Levy enjoying a good relationship with the Madrid board, Spurs could just get their man.

Levy is in the final negotiations to take Lassana Diarra from the Spanish capital to north London and will work hard until Wednesday’s transfer deadline to do the deal for former AC Milan star Kaka.

Levy pulled off a similar coup last season when he swooped to land Rafael van der Vaart from Madrid and the Dutch ace has been a massive success.

An N17 source said: “Daniel enjoys the respect of the powerbrokers at Madrid and it would be a boost if he can persuade them to allow Kaka to join.”
