Spurs are struggling with injuries at the back with Jonathan Woodgate, Michael Dawson and Ledley King all out.
Reports on Sunday claimed The Magpies had made a £10million bid for the 23-year-old.
“He is a player I’m interested in,” Redknapp is quoted in the Daily Express. “I like Bassong, he is a young player with a good future and a good central defender.
“I don’t think we have made an offer as far as I know. I am sure the chairman has not made an offer.”
