Harry Redknapp believes Spurs are only two big signings away from being title contenders.
Quoted in several newspapers, he said: “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.”
He added: “We’ve got a lot of players here who could play for any club,” he added.
“There are an awful lot of them who could. You’ve seen their performances. That includes the left-back (Benoit Assou-Ekotto) who you don’t hear much about but has everything to be as good a left-back as there is around.
“He’s a fantastic player, Benoit. When he’s on it he’s an unbelievable talent.”
