Spurs rules out bid for Newcastle star

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp insists that they have no plans of making a bid for Newcastle United striker Andy Carroll.

Reports on Sunday claimed Spurs were lining up a £30million bid for the England international, who has been a hit for Newcastle this season.

Redknapp admits that he would have liked to have Carroll in his team, but has no plans of making a move for the striker.

“He’s a good player, he’s a handful, you’d like to have him in your team,” Redknapp said.

“But we are nowhere near getting Andy Carroll. How much is he? You are talking £30million to 40million.”
