Tottenham Hotspur nearly signed Luis Suarez and Eden Hazard, claims Harry Redknapp

Harry Redknapp has told the tale of how he nearly signed world-class stars Luis Suarez and Eden Hazard during his time at Tottenham Hotspur and believes that they would have transformed his side into title contenders.

In 2009-2010, his first full campaign with the club, Redknapp won the Premier League Manager of the Year award as he guided Spurs to their most successful Premier League season and a place in the Champions League.

Despite leading Tottenham to their second fourth-placed finish in three years and missing out on Champions League qualification only due to Chelsea winning the competition, Redknapp was sacked by Tottenham in June 2012.
