Tottenham Hotspur have been linked to Spartak Moscow goalkeeper Stipe Pletikosa after manager Harry Redknapp confirmed an interest in the Croatian.

Spurs tried to sign Pletikosa in January, but the goalkeeper rejected the move. Redknapp is confident it will go ahead this time, however.

Speaking to croatiansoccerreport.com, Redknapp said; “I might be taking another goalkeeper from Croatia – Pletikosa. There is every chance I might be getting him so that’s good.

“I’d say the best players I ever managed in my life have been Croatian boys. They’re fantastic boys.

“I’ve had Igor Stimac, Slaven Bilic, Davor Suker. Robert Prosinecki was a genius. They were fantastic footballers and all of them were great guys.”

The 31-year-old Pletikosa has 81 caps for his country, and has played for Hajduk Split, Shakhtar Donetsk and Spartak Moscow.
