Harry Redknapp says Tottenham would only be able to sign Emmanuel Adebayor on loan.
A permanent deal for the Manchester City striker is out of the question due to his £170,000 a week wages.
He told Sky Sports News: “Adebayor is a name that’s been thrown at me since I’ve been here but I think the club, we were looking maybe to loan him, that was as far as that one had gone.
“So I don’t see a permanent deal being in any shape or form for Adebayor, I think it was just we were looking to get him on loan for a season.
“But where that’s at, again the chairman (Daniel Levy) is dealing with that back home so I’m not sure.
“And other than that we really, I couldn’t give you any names because we haven’t got too many.
“It’s difficult when you’ve got good players – we’ve got lots of good players – to improve on them, so finding players better than we’ve got is difficult.”
