Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says they'll buy in January - if the right player becomes available.
Redknapp, after victory over Newcastle United, questioned the asking price for Wolfsburg striker Edin Dzeko.
He told talkSPORT: "If we could find the right player that would make the difference we would do it.
"The chairman is up for is up for it and he's pushing me more than I'm pushing him. But it's hard to find that person who you think would take you to the next level.
"They are talking about £35million for the boy Dzeko [at Wolfsburg], but is he worth it? It would scare me spending that sort of money unless I was 100 per cent sure."
