Harry Redknapp claims he needs another striker and believes Tottenham Hotspur chairman Daniel Levy will supply him with the necessary funding to make a January signing.

Redknapp is reported to be keen to re-sign Robbie Keane from Liverpool less than six months after Spurs sold the Republic of Ireland international to the Anfield club.

Keane has struggled to live up to his £20million price tag and Redknapp has reiterated his admiration for the striker.

The Spurs boss will be without the ill Darren Bent and cup-tied Roman Pavlyuchenko for Thursday's UEFA Cup clash against Spartak Moscow and has admitted his striking options are currently stretched to the limit.

"Pav's out, Benty's out, we've got to wrap Fraizer Campbell in cotton wool because if anything happened to him, we haven't got anybody to play centre-forward," he said.

"(Coach) Les Ferdinand up front would be handy!

"If we find the right player I'm sure Daniel would back me 100 per cent.

"It's just finding the right people without paying silly money for them. I wouldn't ask him to pay a penny more than I think they're worth.

"As far as pushing that top group goes, I can't guarantee I can do that unless we improve the squad."
