Harry Redknapp has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur have not yet struck a deal for Portsmouth's Peter Crouch.

Pompey boss Paul Hart was quoted on Sunday as admitting to an agreement between the two clubs having already been reached.

A £10million bid was said to have been accepted, with the England international set to open talks regarding a move back to Spurs - the club where he began his career.

However, speaking ahead of Tottenham's Wembley Cup clash with Celtic, Redknapp insists a possible switch remains some way off.

"We are interested in Peter and I think Daniel (Levy) is talking to Peter Storrie and the pair of them are very good negotiators so I don't know where it's going at the moment," Redknapp told Sky Sports.

"Portsmouth have obviously got a price that they want and Daniel and myself have spoken and we have got a price we think is fair, so that's where we're at. Hopefully a compromise will happen and we can get something done.

"We're not that close. There won't be any medicals today and I don't think a deal has been struck yet. I think Daniel is still talking to Peter, so hopefully they can get something done.

"He won't be going to China (for the Asia Cup). He definitely won't be available or signed. It's still not a done deal. It's still ongoing. Whether something happens in the end you can never tell."
