Harry Redknapp: 'Tottenham Hotspur have best starting XI'

Former Tottenham Hotspur boss Harry Redknapp claims that the club have the Premier League's best starting XI, despite being yet to add to their squad this summer.

Former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has claimed that current boss Mauricio Pochettino has England's best starting XI at his disposal.

Spurs have been the closest title challengers in each of the past two seasons, but they are the only Premier League club yet to add to their squad during the current transfer window.

Redknapp - who is now in charge of Birmingham City - believes that is because the current side is too good and prospective signings may feel that they will not be able to break into the team.

"The problem for Tottenham is finding anybody better. Poch said the other day he tried to sign [Alvaro] Morata and he said: 'well, where am I going to play? You have got Harry Kane'," Redknapp told talkSPORT.

"It is a difficult team to get into. They are looking for some reserve players really. Their starting 11 is the best in the country. I still wouldn't swap them for anyone else."

Spurs have been most heavily linked with a move for Everton midfielder Ross Barkley.
