Redknapp targets big January signing

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp is looking to ‘send out a message’ with a high-profile signing in the January transfer window.

Spurs brought in Emmanuel Adebayor on loan from Manchester City and West Ham United’s Scott Parker over the summer, but as Tottenham look to push for a top-three finish and a Champions League place, their manager is hoping to bring in a stellar name.

Redknapp believes that with the club in one of their brightest periods for a number of years, the time is right to spend big in the transfer market, but only if the right player is available.

“We’ve got to be a club looking to go places,” he said.

“The potential is great here. We sell out every week, we’ve got good players.”

“If we’re going to make a signing, let’s make one big signing. That would send out a message. But it’s difficult finding that player who would make a difference.”

Meanwhile, winger Gareth Bale is anticipating an exciting clash against Norwich City on Tuesday night, as Spurs look to tighten their grip on third place with victory at Carrow Road.

“They are not scared of anyone but we’re good going forward too so it could be end-to-end,” Bale said.
