Redknapp Keane on strike duo
Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has backed the partnership of Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe to trigger in the season run-in.[LNB] Spurs have lost top scorer Darren Bent with a knee injury and Redknapp has been working with Keane and Defoe in training this week.[LNB]The two have not started together since their January returns to North London, and many still doubt their ability to form a partnership after mixed performances in their previous spell together at the club.[LNB]But Redknapp has rejected claims they are too similar in build to play together, pointing out that it was a different team behind them before.[LNB]"Maybe in their spell together at Tottenham, nobody could play together," said Redknapp. "If you look at the results, they had a long spell of not winning games.[LNB]"The year before they had that great year with Martin Jol and finished fifth - I don't know how many times they played together that year but the following year they were a bottom-of-the-table team.[LNB]"If you can play through Luka Modric and Keane, with the movement of Defoe it could be a fantastic pairing."[LNB]Meanwhile Redknapp has admitted that he has his sights on potential summer signings and will target established players to strengthen the squad.[LNB]"I just want players who can come in and make us a better team," he said. "The players that I have in mind are playing very well and in their prime."[LNB]
