Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has admitted that he regrets not signing Luis Suarez when he had the chance.

The Uruguayan striker signed for Liverpool for £22.8m from Ajax in January, and is now likely to turn out against Spurs at White Hart Lane on Sunday.

"We looked at Suarez," said Redknapp. "That was a player who we probably should have took, looking back on it now.

"The fee was 30-odd million and that's a lot of money and we thought he played a bit like Rafael Van der Vaart as well.

"We were looking for a target man but I have seen him play up on his own and he can do that. He can play anywhere. He can do anything. He is a top class, fantastic player."

Spurs are currently 15th in the Premier League, while Kenny Dalglish's side are in sixth place.
