Giovani set for cup chance

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is ready to give Giovani dos Santos a chance to shine after holding a meeting with the youngster’s parents when he lost his way last season.

Giovani is set to feature in the Carling Cup third-round clash at Preston but his future at Spurs looked bleak last season when he was pictured looking the worse for wear at a Christmas party and was late for training sessions.
