Tottenham boss feels Chelsea and Liverpool now genuine title threats

Following the January transfer window, Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp feels that Chelsea and Liverpool are both now top chances of taking this season's Premiership.

Chelsea managed to bring in star Spaniard Fernando Torres from Anfield, in what was the biggest signing of the window, whilst the Reds got prolific Uruguayan marksman Luis Suarez from Ajax and the promising Andy Carroll from Newcastle United.

With those inclusions, Redknapp believes that both the Blues and the Reds can match it with the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Manchester City and even his Spurs in the season run-in.

"The more you look at it, the more you realise just how tough it is," Redknapp said.

"A month ago, people were saying that Chelsea were going to drop out of the top four and suddenly Mr Abramovich said, 'I don't think so' and went out and bought two unbelievable players.

"I could see them being very close to winning the championship. Liverpool could be pushing for top four now too. I wouldn't write them off."
