Redknapp eyes “top players”

8814790 300x206 Redknapp eyes top playersBoss Harry Redknapp has urged Spurs to keep “backing his judgement” as he feels the north Londoners are just two “top, top players” away from a Premier League title challenge (Spurs 66/1 to win the league this season).

The former Portsmouth and West Ham chief has impressively turned under-achieving Tottenham into a top four club and is now looking to take the next step and mounting a challenge to the dominancy of Chelsea (8/15f) and Manchester United (6/1).

Not since Arsenal in 2003/04 have either United or the Blues failed to land the title, but Redknapp wants that to change over the next couple of seasons.

He told reporters: “I think Tottenham may be one or two big signings away from being a team that could win the championship. One or two players in the right positions – and I’m talking about two top, top players in the right positions.

“If we could go and do that I think Tottenham are a team that could win the championship in a couple of years.

“This squad is just so full of talent anyway, players who have made their mark and (chairman) Daniel Levy has done a great job backing my judgment and improving the squad and the club, that I really believe we’re not far away from that level.”

Spurs (9/2) are in Champions League action at Inter Milan (4/6) tonight.
