Harewood is attracting interest from several clubs

Harewood, 27, has been told he can leave Upton Park and Birmingham have already had a �3m bid turned down.

Redknapp said: "I've been keeping an eye on Marlon. I like him - he's strong, quick and powerful

"He's a real handful on his day and most of all, can definitely get you goals in the Premier League. If he could get 15 goals, he'd be a snip."

West Ham boss Alan Curbishley is understood to want �5m for the striker, who has also been linked with Derby and Charlton.

Harewood's departure would leave Curbishley looking for reinforcements in attack.

Benfica striker Nuno Gomes has been linked with a move to Upton Park but there is believed to be interest from Serie A clubs.
