Harry Redknapp has revealed that Shaun Wright-Phillips and Younes Kaboul want to move to Portsmouth, but he may have to sell before he can buy.
"I think we have 20 good players here. And even though we've now also got Crouchie, a top signing, I think we still need two or three more. We haven't got any young players."
He told the Portsmouth News: "Nicky Shorey at Reading is someone who I like, but he isn't going to come cheaply. And I like Shaun Wright-Phillips.
"I know Shaun and his dad (former Arsenal and England ace Ian Wright) think Portsmouth would be a good move for him.
"And I would like a centre-half. Younes Kaboul wants to come here, but I heard Kaboul is going to Villa. I don't think there is anything he can do about it."
Spurs, who paid French club Auxerre £8.3million for Kaboul a year ago only for new boss Juande Ramos to largely leave him out of the side, naturally want to recoup much of their outlay.
And Redknapp admitted: "If Villa are in for him he may have to go there. We made an offer with what we thought was a fair valuation but if we want some (new) players in we also need to sell a few.
"We are only looking to get in top-drawer players now.
"I want to finish in the top six if I can but, as I always say, a top-10 finish in the Premier League is always brilliant for anybody apart from the (usual) top four." |
