Redknapp expects quiet day

Spurs have been linked with a host of strikers this month, and the departure of Robbie Keane to West Ham has opened up a space in Spurs' 25-man squad that could be filled by the 22-year-old Argentinian. Reports suggest that the north London outfit have met the ?38.5million asking price for Aguero but tax laws have prevented the deal from going ahead.

Andy Carroll is also thought to have been on Redknapp's radar for some time now and the Spurs boss admitted that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy could have made a fresh bid for the Newcastle striker.

Redknapp said: "I never made a bid for Andy Carroll. Maybe the chairman did but I never did. Nobody has told me we've made a bid."

Athletic Bilbao's Fernando Llorente is another potential target but Redknapp denied suggestions he had made a bid for the player despite reports in Spain suggesting otherwise.

"Fernando Llorente? No chance. I'm not going back to Spain any more. Definitely not," said Redknapp, referring to his mugging before watching last week's Madrid derby.
