Pompey lifted the FA Cup trophy for the first time in 69 years in May, with it securing their place in the European competition for the first time in the club?s history.
The club have already been linked with a host of players, Manchester City captain Richard Dunne and free agent Stephen Carr all mooted as possible recruits as Redknapp looks to add to his relatively small squad.
Up-front is one particular area of interest for the 61-year old, with on-loan striker Milan Baros returning to Lyon after an unspectacular six-month spell at Fratton Park, though the former West Ham United and Southampton manager has his eyes on players across several positions.
“It’s going to be interesting playing in the Uefa Cup, but we need a big squad with the number of games it involves,? Redknapp told the club?s official website.
“It’s difficult to maintain a strong league position and do well in Europe. To do that you need a big squad that you can rotate.
“I think we need four more good players for a squad capable of fighting on both fronts.
“I need a striker. I’ve only got Jermain Defoe, David Nugent and Kanu. I might even need two strikers, in all honesty, now that Milan Baros has gone back after coming here on loan.
“Milan did all alright for us. He’s a good lad and worked hard. But I’m really looking for someone to play with Jermain Defoe.”
Mark Hughes arrival at Manchester City looks to have persuaded Dunne to stay, but Redknapp is set to persist in his hunt for an additional centre-back.
“I’d like another centre half, a position where we desperately need cover,” added Redknapp.
“I’d like another wide player too, because we’re still short in that area even though we’ve signed Glen Little.
“And I may need someone who can play centre half or midfield. I know the players I like, but getting them is another thing. It’s a waiting game.”
