Call me, Harry: Shakhtar Donetsk's Darijo Srna [LNB]Tottenham defender Vedran Corluka has urged Harry Redknapp to sign international team-mate Darijo Srna.[LNB]The Croatia star enjoyed a fine first season at White Hart Lane as Spurs recovered from their worst ever start to a League season to narrowly miss out on a place in next season's Europa League.[LNB]And Corluka believes Tottenham only need 'two or three new signings' to challenge the Barclays Premier League's top teams.[LNB]'It's possible that five or six players will go, but I think that we need at least two or three new signings if we are to increase our ambitions,' Corluka told Sportske Novosti.[LNB]'Against the big teams, we were at our best, against the sides lower down the table, where physical power is the key, we were weak.

[LNB]And Corluka identified fellow countryman Srna, 27, as an ideal transfer target for Tottenham.[LNB]'I know that Redknapp is keen on Srna and would not be surprised if Tottenham go for him,' he said. [LNB]'I would play in the middle of defence if that were the case. [LNB]'We'll see what Darijo's plans are, but it seems that there are plenty of offers, which is no surprise given his quality.' [LNB]Srna, who can play in midfield or defence, was Shakhtar Donetsk's player of the season and played a starring role during their defeat of Werder Bremen in last month's last ever UEFA Cup in Turkey.[LNB] Bale blow as injury-prone Spurs star faces race to be fit for new seasonPrince-Boateng back at Spurs as Dortmund don't have the cash to keep himSpurs plan to take the Mikel out of Everton with Arteta coupThe kit parade: Spurs' golden slash and West Ham's smart away strip join Villa, Arsenal, Celtic, Chelsea, Newcastle, Liverpool, United and Man City shirts on shelvesTOTTENHAM HOTSPUR FC
