Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has signed Carlo Cudicini and Pascal Chimbonda - and has now signalled his interest in Liverpool striker Robbie Keane.
Cudicini has been given a free transfer from Chelsea and could make his debut against Stoke tomorrow evening as first-choice goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has a thigh strain.

Chimbonda was not registered in time to face Tony Pulis' men in the Barclays Premier League clash at White Hart Lane, but he will be available at the weekend after following Jermain Defoe as the second player to rejoin Spurs this month.

Another who left Spurs in the last year was Robbie Keane, who has struggled to make an impact at Anfield and was not in the squad for the FA Cup clash against Everton at the weekend.

Tottenham have been linked to the Republic of Ireland international, following his stop-start time at Liverpool, and Redknapp has put the ball in the Reds' court.

'I wouldn't sit here and say I wouldn't like to have Robbie Keane at my football club, I'd be a liar, but he belongs to Liverpool so it is not an option unfortunately,' Redknapp said.

'As a player and a person I have a lot of time for Robbie Keane. I think he's fantastic.'

Keane's omission fuelled concerns about his future, although Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has previously stated there will be no departures in the current transfer window.

Redknapp is in the market for another striker and has pursued Sunderland's Kenwyne Jones and is monitoring Fred's situation at French side Lyon.

Spurs have been criticised by Sunderland boss Ricky Sbragia for the manner of their approach for Jones, although Redknapp has pointed out that there has been continued dialogue between his chairman Daniel Levy and Black Cats counterpart Niall Quinn.

'The chairman tried to do a deal and spoke to Niall Quinn quite a few times,' Redknapp said. 'They only have to say, "He's not for sale". That is all anyone ever has to say.'
