Two more wins and Spurs boss Redknapp will be aiming for Europe
Harry Redknapp believes Tottenham [LNB]are two wins away from guaranteeing Barclays Premier League survival but also has his sights on making a late push for Europe. [LNB]Spurs climbed into 11th in the table with their weekend win at Aston Villa and moved six points clear of the bottom three. [LNB]But they are also only five points off seventh place - currently held by West Ham - and that could be enough to qualify for the UEFA Cup if Manchester United, Chelsea or Arsenal win the the FA Cup and finish in the top four. [LNB][LNB][LNB] On the up: Redknapp reckons Spurs can keep climbing the table[LNB]Redknapp said: 'How many points needed to survive? I spoke to Peter Storrie at Portsmouth and he was talking about 42 points and that is a bit frightening. I don't see you'll need 42 points. [LNB]'When the pressure comes on it gets very difficult for some teams. It could still take 39 points, something around that mark. [LNB]'It's two wins for us. For some teams you are talking about six wins. West Brom probably need another 16-17 points. [LNB]'We've just got to keep trying to win games. Every manager apart from the top four - plus Aston Villa, Everton and West Ham - will be looking over their shoulder.'[LNB]Redknapp added: 'Every year someone goes into freefall but also every year someone pulls out of it when things look bleak. [LNB]'I was at Portsmouth two or three years ago when we looked at trying to get 20 more points with 10 games to go after I think we only had 16 or 17 all year. [LNB]'We managed it. West Ham have done something similar. Fulham did it last year. But I would love to finish seventh. We're playing so well in recent weeks and there's no reason we can't keep pushing up the table now.' [LNB]However, Redknapp dismissed reports he had claimed Tottenham would be challenging for the top four next season. [LNB]He said: 'To break into the top four is very difficult. They're on another level still, in my opinion. [LNB]'I certainly didn't say I see us being a top-four club next year. I wouldn't put myself under that kind of pressure.'[LNB] Juventus move remains an option for Tottenham playmaker Modric[LNB]Keane snubs Redknapp!
