US EditionJamie Redknapp Reveals How He Got Antoine Semenyo to Liverpool Transfer Rumour 'Completely Wrong'
Jamie Redknapp admitted his father provided incorrect info about Semenyo's transfer, which ultimately saw the player join Manchester City for about £60 million.
- Last week, Jamie Redknapp admitted his father Harry Redknapp, former Bournemouth manager, supplied the tip that Semenyo might go to Liverpool, but he signed a long-term contract at Manchester City for 60m.
- On this occasion, Jamie relayed a tip from his father, who called from Bournemouth and said `I think there might be a twist and he might be going to Liverpool` during Sky Sports coverage.
- Semenyo's match-defining moments included a stoppage-time winner and cup goals, scoring the winner for Bournemouth against Tottenham and netting and assisting in a 10-1 FA Cup win over Exeter City.
- Liverpool are likely to pivot away from forward options for the coming weeks after missing on Semenyo, while Pep Guardiola, Manchester City manager, praised the signing that gives Manchester City an advantage in the Carabao Cup.
- The gaffe underscores the hazards of airing tips from personal contacts, as Jamie Redknapp admitted `I thought I had turned into Fabrizio Romano for five seconds, and I got it completely wrong.` and said he sometimes `expect better` from sources on Sky Sports.
