Spurs rule out trio, eye Fabiano

TOTTENHAM manager Harry Redknapp has ruled out signing Raul, James Milner or Ashley Young but still wants Sevilla striker Luis Fabiano.


Raul, 33, marked his last day of a 16-year stay at the Santiago Bernabeu by claiming that he could now be set for a move to the Premier League, with Newcastle, Manchester United and Liverpool linked to the Schalke target.


Spurs boss Redknapp insists a move for the former Spain striker, who scored 323 goals for Los Blancos, would be beyond Spurs financially, but admits he is interested in signing Fabiano.


"I like Fabiano. I've got other targets, but I'd be a liar if I said I didn't like him, he's a top player," Redknapp told Sky Sports News. "Raul was a great player at Real Madrid, but I wouldn't think he would be a player we would bring to Tottenham.


"Financially, I don't think it would be possible to do a deal like that."


Spurs have also been connected to Manchester City target Milner and his Aston Villa team-mate Young.


Redknapp thinks those deals would be out of their range too.


"No, we wouldn't be able to (sign Milner)," he added. "Anybody would like James Milner, he's an outstanding young player, but he'd be way out of our depth.
