Harry Redknapp wants one more major Tottenham signing

Spurs beat Stoke 3-1, brushing aside Tony Pulis's team with three goals in the opening 24 minutes, from Aaron Lennon, Jermain Defoe and Michael Dawson. Redknapp has spent nearly £33 million, bringing in four players – Jermain Defoe, Wilson Palacios, Carlo Cudicini and Pascal Chimbonda – and wants to add one more. 'If I could find one very good player I will sign one, probably a forward,' said Redknapp, who will decide today whether to move for 28-year-old former Juventus midfielder Stephen Appiah and Lyon striker Fred. 'Appiah will play in a reserve game against Reading today and I will watch him play and make a decision,' said Redknapp. 'He's been a fantastic player, I watched him and followed his career at Juventus and tried to sign him three or four times, I saw him play for Ghana on six or seven occasions, and I ended up signing Sulley Muntari (for Portsmouth). 'He's a top, top player, it's just that he has had an injury and his fitness is way before what you would hope for but he's worked hard, so I'll give him a decision today because he's been with us about a month now and he needs to know. 'Fred was supposed to come yesterday and didn't turn up so I wouldn't bet on him coming today. I will be watching the reserves anyway. The chairman is talking with his club. 'He is out of contract in the summer, so Lyon are asking for a small fee for him.' Redknapp remains linked with signing Robbie Keane back, from Liverpool, but he added: 'I wouldn't have thought we will be able to get Keane. He's a Liverpool player and I don't like talking about other club's players.' Redknapp now turns his attentions to a difficult away game, at Bolton, and he warned: 'It's no good us get carried away now then going to Bolton on Saturday and being fragile and not strong enough.' Wilson Palacios, signed from Wigan but suspended against Stoke, will make his debut – and that will give Redknapp a selection headache. 'I need to get Palacios in my team because he's everything I've been wanting in a midfield player so I've got to shape the team up where I get those people in my team. 'I'll have to adjust the formation to get them in the side because he's a central midfield player and I need (Didier) Zokora as well. He did a good job against Stoke defensively, he let Luka go and play, and I've got (Jermaine) Jenas coming back so I'm strong in midfield and I've got good options. 'Aaron Lennon played with a groin injury, he might have a little tear in there or a strain, so he could be struggling a little bit, and I've got to pick a team that can compete at Bolton because when you go there if you don't compete you get nothing.'
