No move for Dutch ace - Harry

Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp has ruled out a swoop for Ruud van Nistelrooy and believes he could sign for Arsenal.

Van Nistelrooy is being linked with a move away from Real Madrid during the transfer window and Tottenham have been strongly linked with a move for him.

However, Redknapp says he has enough strikers on his books and signing the Dutchman would only give him a bigger headache.

Redknapp instead believes the player could end up at Arsenal as the Gunners step up their attempts to find a replacement for the injured Robin van Persie.

"He's a top player," Redknapp revealed. "If he's anywhere near fit, I'm sure he can still play for a while, but I've never enquired for him. He would come over here and score - he always has done.

"I can see him going somewhere like Arsenal. Tottenham is a big club. We shouldn't be afraid to compete with these clubs in the transfer market, but what would I do?

"I have Crouch, Keane and Defoe and Pav. If I got Van Nistelrooy, I give myself another problem."
