Tottenham Hotspurs manager, Harry Redknapp has expressed his interest in signing Lille’s attacker, Eden Hazard for the next season.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, has expressed his desire to play for one of the top English clubs.
However, Redknapp is wary of the competition he may face from the Manchester based clubs in landing the Belgian star at the White Hart Lane.
The 21 year old player, who has been playing for the French club Lille since 2007, has played 181 matches for the team and scored 41 goals for his side. During this period, he has also made 30 assists.   
On international duty, he has made 26 appearances for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 scoring a goal for his country while making 8 assists.
Redknapp, who has set Hazard as a prime target for the summer, has stressed the need for the club chairman, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Daniel-c9879 Levy to spend lavishly in order to beat rival English clubs in the race to buy Hazard.
Lille has set a mammoth 33 million pound fee for the player and if the deal goes ahead, he will break Tottenham’s club record for the most expensive signing to date. At the moment, the club’s record signing stands at 16.5 million pounds which they paid to
buy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luka-Modric-c22857 in 2008.
“Our chairman is willing to pay for an exceptional talent like Hazard. But I also know that Manchester United are looking at him and also Manchester City. It will be difficult to get him, but I like him a lot” said Redknapp.
 But Redknapp urged the importance of beating the Manchester clubs in a bid to sign the forward in order to compete with the top two clubs in England at the moment. He also said that the club needs to make a habit of spending handsomely to keep up with the
increasing demands and tough competition in the English league.
“If you want to compete you have to buy top players. We’ve not paid massive transfer fees in the past because we’ve been OK.”
‘But you have to keep pushing on and I think the club would do it if we came up with the right targets.’ Redknapp said.
A t the same time, the Tottenham boss has also turned his attention to Loic Remy who at the moment is playing for the French club Marseille. The 25 year old French striker might contemplate a move to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in order to play for a bigger club. Remy’s Marseille
is placed at number 9 in league 1 at present.
