Wise could become a Saint

SOUTHAMPTON boss Harry Redknapp wants Dennis Wise to bolster Saints’ attempt to bounce back into the Premiership.

Wise, 38, quit as Millwall player-boss at the end of the season after falling out with new chairman Jeff Burnige and Redknapp has made an offer.

“He’s the sort of player I’m after, I want to bring in players with character and experience.”

Redknapp has a track record of successfully using experienced players.

He signed Paul Merson to help his previous club Portsmouth win promotion, and then brought in Teddy Sheringham to keep Pompey in the top flight.
