Redknapp says new stadium will boost Tottenham title prospects

Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp believes the club's new stadium will boost their title prospects.

Tottenham expect to have a new 61,000-seater stadium completed in time for the 2018-19 season, which Redknapp, who left the club in 2012, believes will play a big part in any future success.

"They've not been up there with the big spenders," he told BBC Radio 5 live's Friday Football Social. "Now with the new stadium the crowds are going to nearly double.

"The man who owns the club, Joe Lewis, is up there with the richest men in the world. So there's certainly no shortage of money.

"Maybe they do run out of steam, maybe he [Pochettino] hasn't been able to rotate and could do with another three or four top players to give him the strength in depth.

"If you said to me 'go and manage any team you want', I would take Tottenham's best XI."
