“We are nowhere near getting Andy Carroll”

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has ruled out a move for Newcastle striker Andy Carroll.

Reports had claimed that Spurs were set to make a £30million move for the England international, but Redknapp has pointed to his valuation as a stumbling block.

“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.”
