Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is realistic over reports linking them with a move for Andy Carroll. The Newcastle strikers future on Tyneside continues to be called into question with Spurs reputed to be waiting in the wings with a £30m bid.
Redknapp, though, insists there are no such plans in place, with Spurs unwilling to break the bank during the January transfer window.
He admits to being an admirer of the England international, but refutes any talk of an imminent approach being made.
"He's a good player, he's a handful, you'd like to have him in your team," Redknapp said.
"But we are nowhere near getting Andy Carroll. How much is he? You are talking £30million to 40million."
