Tottenham Hotspur's boss Harry Redknapp looks to be ready to sign Croatian goal keeper Stipe Pletikosa, thereby probably ending any remaining interest he had in signing Coventry City's Keiren Westwood.
Spurs had been one of the host of clubs linked with the Irish international goal keeper, but one by one their interest has waned or proved to have been lukewarm at best.
Redknapp told croatiansoccerreport.com: "I might be taking another goalkeeper from Croatia: Pletikosa. "[There is] every chance I might be getting him so that's good."
Redknapp already has three Croatian internationals in his team,, Luka Modric, Vedran Corluka and Niko Kranjcar.
Redknapp enthused, "I would say the best players I ever managed in my life have been Croatian boys. They're fantastic boys. I have had Igor Stimac, Slaven Bilic, Davor Suker. Robert Prosinecki was a genius. Fantastic footballers and all great guys."
