Harry Redknapp thinks a few new changes to his Tottenham squad will put them in prime position to battle for the Premier League title.
The manager sees his side sitting six points off Premier League leaders Chelsea after a shock comeback win over North London rivals Arsenal at the weekend.
Redknapp said after that game he felt Spurs were now set to become title contenders in the near future, but most fans would be happy with a repeat of last season's Premier League top four finish.
They have struggled at times this season but still sit three points behind fourth-placed Man City - the team they pipped to the Champions League last season and the football betting suggests they could be on for a repeat.
Redknapp admitted he "genuinely" believes that Spurs are one of the leading contenders in the race for the top for and also the title, but will people looking to bet on Premier League winner consider them to be in with a real shout?
Regardless, if you consider they were a relegation-threatened side when he took over it shows how far Redknapp has dramatically taken them on during his time.
He has made some astute signings and now boasts a Spurs squad full of stars like Gareth Bale and Rafael van der Vaart that is the envy of a number of rival Premier League managers.
"I am looking to bring people in this January," Redknapp said.
"We need to tweak it to finish it off. There's one or two other bits we could do, without spending a fortune, that could make a difference to the team. We've a new training ground coming, the club's in good shape and we can go forward."
Redknapp recently stated he felt that despite all the problems Chelsea have had this season they are still favourites for the Premier League title.
