Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp says it's becoming more competitive in the youth transfer market.
Redknapp believes there isn't the same talent around in England than past generations.
He said: "We are ambitious and we have got to keep our best players if we are going to move forward. That's what we are looking to do - and we are also looking to see if we can find somebody who would make a difference.
"They are not easy to find. We are looking for that someone who will give us that extra bit of magic but I don't know where they are.
"Everyone is looking for a Cristiano Ronaldo, who is going to get you a goal a game - but they're not out there any more.
"I don't see the Ryan Giggs and David Beckham generation. I would be a liar if I said we had kids coming through that you could talk about in the same breath as the ones I had at West Ham or the United ones.
"I can't remember any better young groups than those two.
"When have Chelsea had a good young 'un since John Terry?
"It is getting harder to find kids who can come in and play at this level. To find a group like West Ham and Man United did, with six kids who are top-class, would to be a miracle.
"I don't know why. Everyone is asking the same question. The last one we had at Spurs was Ledley King. I was lucky at West Ham but unfortunately they sold Rio Ferdinand when they shouldn't have done and broke it up."
