Harry Redknapp has admitted he knows Shaun Wright-Phillips would like to move to , but he is not sure whether he can afford the winger.

FA Cup winning boss Redknapp also said he would like to bring centre-half Younes Kaboul to the club but knows he will have to sell some of his players first to finance any further transfer market activity this summer.

Shaun Wright Phillips: possible Pompey move

Speaking to the Portsmouth News, Redknapp said: 'I know Shaun and his dad (former and England ace Ian Wright) think Portsmouth would be a good move for him. And I would like a centre-half. Younes Kaboul wants to come here, but I heard Kaboul is going to Villa. I don't think there is anything he can do about it.'

Kaboul cost Spurs £8.3 million 12 months ago and they would be keen to recoup most of that cost, something which Redknapp admits could see him miss out. Especially as are interested and would be able to meet a fee without having to first sell any players.

Redknapp added: "If Villa are in for him he may have to go there. We made an offer with what we thought was a fair valuation but if we want some (new) players in we also need to sell a few.

"We are only looking to get in top-drawer players now."
