Redknapp concerned Tottenham will not progress unless big money spent

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp wants the club to splash the cash this summer if they want to continue challenging for a Champions League place. Spurs are now seven points behind Manchester City in the race for the fourth-place finish in the Premier League which carries the reward of Champions League qualification.

He said: "I hate when people say, 'Oh well, if they don't make the Champions League, they're going to sell (Gareth) Bale or they're going to sell (Luka) Modric - that's not the way forward.

"The way forward now is to say, 'Okay, let's go and find one or two top-drawer players and go and move on again and let's get back in the Champions League'.

"I haven't spoken to (chairman) Daniel (Levy) about it but I'm sure he's got to be positive. Where do you go if you don't do that?

"Chelsea looked like they might have dropped out of the top four round about transfer-window time, so they went and spent £75million on two players because they wanted to stay in there.

"I'm not saying we should spend £75million but we need to keep positive and moving forward."
