Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he's had to lift his sights in the transfer market.

And Redknapp concedes that it's made his job all the more difficult.

He wrote in The Sun: "The problem we have now when we look for players is that the better you get, the more difficult it is to find someone who will take you even higher.

"Believe me, there aren't that many out there - but we won't fall down on that score through a lack of looking.

"And although I don't like losing any games, I do feel that going out of the Europa League could definitely work in our favour."
