My dad’s a Sky Sports pundit – now I’m making my own way as a footballer after signing for Premier League club
JAMIE REDKNAPP’S son Beau has agreed a deal to join Premier League side Brentford.
The 15-year-old’s move to the West London club was confirmed on Saturday by his mum Louise – who was a popstar in the band All Saints.
She shared a picture on social media of Beau signing his contract with the top flight club.
And Louise added the caption: “Beyond proud of my Beau Beau, the hard work pays off!
“Congratulations on signing to @BrentfordFC I love you so much xxx.”
Jamie, 51, who played for Liverpool, Tottenham and England, married Louise in 1998 and the pair welcomed their first son Charley, 19, seven years later.
Beau was then born in 2008, before his parents divorced in 2017.
Jamie, who has been a Sky Sports pundit for nearly two decades, married model Frida Andersson in 2021 and they have one son together – Raphael, 2.
Jamie played more than 300 games for Liverpool and earned 17 caps for England.
He won the League Cup with the Reds in 1995 and Uefa Super Cup in 2001.
Jamie is the son of Harry Redknapp – a former West Ham and Bournemouth striker who went on to become an accomplished manager with the likes of Portsmouth, Southampton and Tottenham.
Brentford have previous for signing the sons of famous ex-footballers.
David Beckham‘s son Romeo, 21, joined Brentford last year but has not featured for the first team.
Thomas Frank’s men kicked off their Premier League campaign with a 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.
They travel to Liverpool on Sunday as they look to upset Arne Slot’s side.
Harry Redknapp's 2024/25 season predictions
TOP FOUR
ARSENAL, MANCHESTER CITY, LIVERPOOL and TOTTENHAM — and I’ve got a really strong feeling for Arsenal this season. A few of Man City’s star players are getting a bit older. There’s been nothing between the two teams over the past two years.
RELEGATION
EVERTON (18th), SOUTHAMPTON (19th), LEICESTER (20th) — I like Sean Dyche and Everton are a great club with brilliant, knowledgeable fans. They’re just badly run. They need to go down to rebuild to come back again. But the key is new owners.
TOP SCORER
ERLING HAALAND — I can’t see anyone taking his crown off him. He’s a goal machine, isn’t he? If I can get him at evens, I might lump on!
MOST ASSISTS
MARTIN ODEGAARD — He’ll be the catalyst for Arsenal’s surge to the title. I can see it now. He’s a superb player and he makes it look so easy.
CARABAO CUP
TOTTENHAM — Ange Postecoglou will break Spurs’ trophy curse. Most big teams will mess about with this trophy, but Tottenham will go full steam.
FA CUP
LIVERPOOL — I fancy Arne Slot to stamp his mark on English football quickly and there’s few better ways to do it than lifting this famous old trophy.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
REAL MADRID — Carlo Ancelotti is bullish about their chances. He has said that with Kylian Mbappe, it’s the best team they’ve had for a long time.
EUROPA LEAGUE
MANCHESTER UNITED — Clubs seem to have stopped sneering at this competition. And Spurs and United should be going both barrels for it.
CONFERENCE LEAGUE
CHELSEA — The Luxembourg champions could be dangerous! Joking aside, the Blues must win it.
