Ardiles: two signings and Spurs can win the title

OSSIE ARDILES has backed Harry Redknapp’s claim Tottenham could win the Barclays Premier League this season – but only if they sign a top-class playmaker and striker.

Redknapp this week boldly declared Spurs were capable of ending their 50-year wait for the league title, an assertion that raised a few eyebrows.

Despite the 63-year-old masterminding the club’s best-ever Premier League finish of fourth last season, Tottenham were 16 points adrift of champions Chelsea and would face a huge task to close that gap this term.
