It has emerged that Redknapp's assistant, Jim Smith, has had talks with his old club Derby County on the availabilty of striker Ravanelli.

However, Redknapp insists his main transfer target is still midfielder Tim Sherwood from Tottenham.

Redknapp told BBC Radio Solent: "I've made enquiries about Ashley Ward, and I know that Jim spoke to Derby yesterday (Monday) afternoon about Ravanelli.

"But that's as far as it's gone, we're nowhere near doing a deal with anybody at the moment, we're just looking for another striker.

"I've said all along, Tim Sherwood is my main target, he's the one I really want to bring in if possible," said Redknapp.
