Friday saw Villa boss Gerrard Houllier refuse to rule out the possibility Young had been the subject of an illegal approach by a rival club following the England international's U-turn over contract talks.
Spurs manager Redknapp is a confirmed admirer of Young, having tried to sign the 25-year-old on more than one occasion. But he insists Tottenham have had no contact with player himself, even making light of such talk.
With tongue firmly in cheek, Redknapp said: "I'm tapping him up - I've been round his house a couple of times. We've done the deal; he's okay."
Adamant Tottenham had "never" made an illegal approach for Young, Redknapp also indicated his interest in the player is at an end. "We've got Gareth Bale - what would I do with him (Young)?" he said.
"I can't get Niko Kranjcar on the pitch; he's a fantastic player. What am I going to do with another left winger, give myself another headache?
"I'm strong in those (wing) positions: I've got Aaron Lennon, got Gareth Bale, got Luka Modric who can play off the left. It's hard enough as it is."
