Redknapp confident Tottenham squad won't be broken up

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp does not envisage players leaving White Hart Lane if his team fail to qualify for the Champions League. The north London club knocked back several bids from Chelsea for playmaker Luka Modric last summer, while winger Gareth Bale has been linked with Barcelona.

"No, I don't," he said on Sky Sports News. "When they came to the club, Tottenham weren't in the Champions League, and were nowhere near getting in the Champions League.

"They play for Tottenham. They're at a great club. There's no reason they should want to leave. If we don't make it this year we'll try again next year. There's not too many clubs they could go to better than Tottenham.

"Gareth Bale and Luka Modric have both signed long-term contracts. Gareth has had a fantastic time for young player at Tottenham. He needs to stay at Tottenham a few more years yet and keep developing.

"We've progressed so much in the last four years, we've got to keep that going and push on even more in the table and look to win a Premier League. It's not impossible."
