Harry Redknapp<\/a> has insisted he is only focussed on getting Tottenham<\/a> back in the Champions League<\/a>, despite being linked to the England job.<\/p>\n

Prior to their loss at Stoke at the weekend, Redknapp’s Spurs had been on an 11-match unbeaten run, and are currently fourth in the Premier League table with a game in hand on third-placed Chelsea.<\/p>\n

This impressive run has led to increasing speculation that Redknapp will be the man to replace Fabio Capello when the Italian steps down following Euro 2012.<\/p>\n

However, when asked about the prospect of becoming the next England manager, the Spurs’ boss refused to be drawn.<\/p>\n

He told reporters: \u201cI just have a job to do here. I just have to get on with my job. That’s all I can do.<\/p>\n

“I don’t know what will happen at the end of the season, if anything does.<\/p>\n

“I don’t look that far ahead really. I am not a person who thinks about next year or the year after, [if you do that] you start wishing your life away.<\/p>\n

“I am only looking at what I am doing now. I have to keep focussed on Tottenham. The only thing that enters my mind is getting them back in the Champions League.”<\/p>\n

Redknapp went on to say that the January transfer window coming could provide the perfect opportunity to add to his already talented squad.<\/p>\n

The 64-year-old continued: “If someone came along who we felt was special, someone who could make the difference, I think we would go for him.<\/p>\n

“The chairman would back me all the way if it was someone who we felt could take us that extra little bit forward.”<\/p>\n

Redknapp also conceded that whilst he would love a player of the calibre of the recently-linked Carlos Tevez, a move is unlikely to happen.<\/p>\n

He added: “He is a special player, the type of player who could make the difference, but I wouldn’t think that’s a real possibility.”<\/p>\n
