Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is expected to decide today whether to push through a deal to sign free agent Stephen Appiah for the remainder of the season.

The Ghana international has been training at Spurs for over a month, but doubts remain over his fitness after crippling knee injuries had put him out of the game for the past 12 months.

"He has had an injury and his fitness is way below what you'd hope it to be," Redknapp said.

"But he's worked hard so I'll have a look at him and give him a decision because he's been with us for about a month now. He needs to know."

Meanwhile, Appiah’s national coach, the Serbian Milovan Rajevac, has given the player a massive boost ahead of the final phase of 2010 World Cup/MTN Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, saying that although the 28-year-old remains unattached, he will be invited for national duty, where he will have to prove his fitness.

"We will invite him for all games, featuring prominently will be subject to his fitness and output," Rajevac said.
