Spurs boss Harry Redknapp claims that he will not be signing any new players in January.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that he is not looking to bring in any new players in the January transfer window.

The 64-year-old, who recently returned to the dugout following minor heart surgery, believes that he has one of the best squads in the Premier League.

"As it stands, I'm not looking to bring anyone into the club in January," he told The Mirror. "I was initially concerned about injuries to some of our defenders, which left us light on the ground. But with William Gallas and ­Ledley King returning, those concerns have subsided.

"To be honest, we have a very strong squad, one of the best in the Premier League, so I wouldn't know where to bring in players that would improve us, as we are pretty strong all over the pitch.

"There is absolutely no point in going out and signing players if they can't improve the team. And, as it is, I have enough strength in depth in my squad."

The former Portsmouth boss also claimed that his side can mount a serious title challenge, such is the quality he has at his disposal.

"This is the strongest squad I've had under my control and we're not just looking at challenging for the top four, why shouldn't we consider being title ­contenders?" he added.

"It's a tough ask, with the likes of Manchester City and United, but if they slip up, we're capable of taking ­advantage."

Spurs, who beat West Bromwich Albion 3-1 on Saturday, are currently third in the Premier League table.
