PALACIOS ... gave Lampard a tough time.
The Tottenham boss made extensive enquiries before asking chairman Daniel Levy to spend around £12million on the midfielder, 24.
As Redknapp prepared his squad for tonight’s Carling Cup semi-final second leg at Burnley, he said: “I like the way Palacios plays, he’s an all-round modern midfielder.
“Frank Lampard reckons no one has had an easy game against him. He has the ability to become real top class.
“Manchester City came in for Palacios last week but the Tottenham chairman is trying to sort out the deal now after we agreed a fee with Wigan.”

Wilson Palacios is officially a Tottenham player after agreeing terms on a £14million switch from Wigan.
SunSport reveals that Spurs finally got their man after thrashing out terms on Tuesday afternoon.
A Tottenham insider confirmed: "A deal has been agreed with Wilson. He’s now a Spurs player."
It is understood Palacios will sign a four-year deal worth around £55,000 a week.
