Redknapp still wants Huntelaar

Tottenham's Harry Redknapp remains keen to sign Real Madrid's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar despite Peter Crouch's signing.

Crouch completed a £9million move from Portsmouth on Monday and joins Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane and Roman Pavlyuchenko in the Spurs attack, with Darren Bent seemingly poised for a move away from White Hart Lane.

Huntelaar was set to join German side Stuttgart last week only for the move to fall through due to the player's wage demands.

And Redknapp confirmed he remains very much interested in the Holland striker, although any move would be subject to Bent moving on.

"It is definitely not a no go," he said. "It is still a possibility. If you look at his goalscoring record, it is incredible.

"If he is available then again he is a player that interests me. I think if any top-class player becomes available then you have to be interested and if Darren Bent does go then maybe we will be interested.

"You cannot have too many good players. Competition for places is what it is all about. Look at Manchester United, you could pick two teams from their squad last year."
