Redknapp eyes United duo Ferdinand and Owen as Spurs ramp up Champions League chase

Harry Redknapp is hoping to boost his Champions League ambitions by making a double raid on Manchester United for Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen.

Tottenham are now unbeaten in seven in the league but the Spurs boss needs to add to a squad which is suffering badly from injuries.

Club captain Ledley King remains a constant worry over his troublesome knees, Michael Dawson could be out until next year with his achilles and William Gallas is only now making a return after several weeks out.

Found wanting: Ferdinand was dropped after his performance against City

And Ferdinand was dropped for the game with Everton after his performance against Manchester City in the 6-1 mauling at Old Trafford and is now no longer certain of a place in the starting XI under Sir Alex Ferguson.

The White Hart Lane boss could offer him temporary way out to ensure he gets enough game time ahead of next summer’s European Championships.

Redknapp would also be interested in taking Owen on-loan until the end of the season.

Bit-part player: Owen features mainly in the cups for United

Spurs rely heavily on Emmanuel Adebayor and Jermain Defoe up front after the summer departures of Robbie Keane and Peter Crouch.

And with Roman Pavlyuchenko making no secret of his desire to play regular first-team football, the former Liverpool and Real Madrid forward would bring much valued experience and threat to the team.
