Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has dampened speculation that he will be making a move to bring Peter Crouch back to North London.
The former Liverpool striker started his career at White Hart Lane and has recently been linked with moves to Sunderland and Fulham but, despite playing under Redknapp at both Southampton and Portsmouth, the Spurs boss says that he will not be making the signing of Crouch a priority.
"Portsmouth are trying to sell Crouchy. Sunderland were interested and I think Fulham are interested.
"I like Crouchy, but at the moment I have got four strikers here, four good strikers. So it is not a priority.
"I haven't got to get rid of anyone. We are not desperate at the moment for strikers.
"I just feel that for that type of money it is an awful lot of money, no disrespect, but Peter is 28 years old.
"Basically it is an expensive deal because there is no return when you pay that type of money. And obviously his salary is high.
"I don't know whether it is possible for us to do that type of deal. It is an expensive deal. The whole package looks expensive."
