Portsmouth boss Redknapp looks to strengthen defence
July 12, 2008, 12:32

Harry Redknapp is now aiming to improve his defensive options after the £11million addition of Peter Crouch.

Redknapp says he is now happy with his forwards as the South Coast club are set to compete in Europe for the first time in their 120-year history - but is keen to strengthen the side's ageing defence.

Redknapp said: "We are always looking to improve and we will see where we go - we keep looking around.

"If you are competing in the UEFA Cup as well, there are a lot of matches. We need strength in depth.

"You can end up playing every Thursday and Sunday and players are going to get injured or need a rest at some stage.

"There are a few positions we need strengthening and Peter (Storrie, chief executive) will be seeing what we can do."
