Portsmouth goalkeeper David James says he feels a January move to Tottenham would be good for his England chances.
The 39-year-old has been linked with a move to White Hart Lane since the summer, with Spurs boss Harry Redknapp reportedly keen to bring in the experienced shot stopper have working him during his time at Fratton Park.
James has struggled this season for fitness, playing in only of the club’s 19 Premier League matches and would probably have to prove he is over his injury niggles before Redknapp would consider making a bid for him.
With Portsmouth’s financial problems still unresolved the south coast club are unlikely to turn down a decent offer for James.
The former Manchester City and Aston Villa keeper has also hinted he would consider a move to Tottenham in order to bolster his flagging hopes of playing for England at the World Cup.
“You could say that I’m flattered by a team of Tottenham’s stature and that it would be good for my England chances to join an upwardly-mobile club,” said James.
However, James has insisted that for now he is focused on helping Portsmouth out of the relegation zone rather than thinking about leaving.
“You have to focus on where you are, and I want to help Portsmouth to climb the table,” he continued.
“The departure of so many players from the club last summer was a great pity, especially when those players are your proven goalscorers.”
