Tottenham<\/a> boss Harry Redknapp<\/a> insists that his side will not be abandoned by their star players despite the club destined to miss out on Champions League<\/a> football next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

It seemed that Spurs and fourth place rivals Manchester City would fight it out until the end of the season to grab the final spot for Europe\u2019s elite competition, but Redknapp\u2019s squad find themselves seven points behind the Eastlands outfit with three games to play, and in danger of losing out on Europe altogether after being overtaken by Liverpool.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the former Portsmouth boss believes that top players would not leave to seek football on the continental stage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asked if he feared an exodus, Redknapp told reporters: \u201cNo, not at all, no.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen they came here they weren\u2019t in the Champions League, and when I arrived here they weren\u2019t anywhere near Champions League football \u2013 they were all here playing.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAll the players we want to keep here are on good, long contracts, signed new contracts, so there\u2019s not a possibility of us looking to sell our best players, that my opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s up to the owners, but we\u2019re all singing from the same hymn sheet here, we don\u2019t want to be selling our best players \u2013 we want to be adding to them if we want Champions League football otherwise we have to expect we won\u2019t see Champions League football again.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In terms of new signings coming Redknapp\u2019s way, the 64-year-old says that transfers for the summer have yet to be discussed with the club\u2019s chairman Daniel Levy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goal.com UK<\/strong> exclusively revealed this week that Spurs are monitoring Real Betis\u2019 Achille Emana<\/a> and Sevilla\u2019s Diego Perotti<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Redknapp added: \u201cI haven\u2019t discussed it with the chairman yet. I\u2019ll meet with Daniel and we\u2019ll look at it, like everybody does. You have to keep improving if you want to move forward and Champions League is getting tougher and tougher to qualify for.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Spurs boss also insisted that many teams will add to their ranks next season, as the likes of Liverpol, Everton, and Aston Villa look to push for European football, and believes a top-four finish will be even more difficult to achieve.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Next year will be even harder than this year, because Liverpool will be right up there next year,” Redknapp said.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I wouldn\u2019t write Everton off next year, they\u2019re not far off it this year, so I think they\u2019ll be up there again next year. Aston Villa have got the players to be close next year.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But certainly you can see Liverpool really improving, Man City, Man United, Arsenal, Chelsea \u2013 getting them out of the top four is not easy. So, like everybody, you need to improve if you want to get Champions League football.\u201d \ufeff<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
