Redknapp vows to turn Spurs into league contenders

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp claims he is building a team capable of challenging for the Premier League title even though his side was held to a 0-0 draw by struggling West Ham.
Redknapp watched his side held by the Hammers at White Hart Lane on Saturday but despite the goalless draw, he remains pleased with the improvement of his club since he arrived three years ago.
He took over with Tottenham in the relegation zone but now it is still in with a chance of winning the Champions League and faces Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
Redknapp is coy about the chances of beating the La Liga side, but he is confident his squad is developing to a group ready to make a run at the Premier League crown.
He said: "It was just one of those matches where we could not get the break in front of goal.
"We hit the woodwork and we moved the ball around the park fantastically. I could not have asked for any more.
"We played some great football and had so many good chances it was crazy.
"But we are building a team here and it is only going to get better. If we keep on improving then I think we can win the championship with Tottenham.
"I'm not putting a time scale on it. I'm just saying I think this team is capable of winning the championship. That is my ambition. If I achieve it, I don't know."
However, Redknapp says he is only focused on finishing the season strongly and is not putting pressure on himself to qualify for the Champions League next season after a result which dented their bid to overhaul fourth placed Chelsea.
He added: "I don't think about it. I don't think 'I must get into the Champions League because Tottenham are in it every year'.
"If we don't do it, then it is one of those things. I have tried my hardest."
