    Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp retains the belief that his start-studded squad are capable of winning the Premier League title in the coming years.

    Spurs’ hopes of challenging the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal this season have all but vanished after slipping 14 points behind The Red Devils.

    With nine matches of the season remaining, Spurs are now outsiders in the race for fourth, with four points separating them and fourth-placed Manchester City, although they have a game in hand.

    Spurs have defied the odds this season by taking the UEFA Champions League by storm and Redknapp has maintained his bold predictions by now setting his sights on becoming champions.

    Belief

    “I’ve said I aim to win the league. Whether people believe it I don’t know. They might think I’m mad but I think it is possible,” Redknapp said.

    “I said last year that I thought we’d get in the top four and we did it. I did not say I wanted to be in the Europa League, I said I wanted to be in the Champions League and we did it.

    “There is nothing between us at the top now. There is nothing between us and Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. I think the players believe it too.

    “We have got some fantastic players here and we have proved it in Europe and we have to believe it.

    “We have some real good players and if we can get one or two in to improve the squad, then the sky is the limit.”
