Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp still keen on Kenwyne Jones
Redknapp attempted to sign Jones in the January transfer window, but an offer of around £14 million was turned down.[LNB]Redknapp spent over £40 million in the transfer window though is likely to be given additional funds this summer and has identified 'two or three' players he believes he needs to turn Tottenham's mid-table squad in to genuine challengers in the top half of the league.[LNB] Related ArticlesBentley scores brace against ArsenalHuddlestone says play me or I'll leaveLanguage a barrier to PavlyuchenkoTottenham 1West Ham 0Redknapp: I want Roman to stayPremier League actionIdeally he would like to bring in Genoa's Diego Milito but would face stiff competition from both Juventus and Inter Milan, making Jones, who recently signed a new four-and-a-half-year contract at the Stadium of Light, a more realistic option.[LNB]The chances of success would be massively increased if Sunderland, currently two points above the relegation places, are relegated.[LNB]And further uncertainty pervades the club with it not yet known if Ricky Sbragia will be the manager come next season, with Sven Goran Erikson and Alan Curbishley touted as possible replacements.[LNB]Sunderland made inquires about the availability of Darren Bent in January, and Redknapp would be willing to use the former Charlton striker as part of a player plus cash deal to bring Jones to White Hart Lane.[LNB]If Sunderland are no longer interested in the England forward, Bent is still likely to be sold to raise funds for further squad building, with Everton also watching with interest.[LNB]
