But Spurs are likely to face stiff competition from Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal as well as a string of top European clubs.
Redknapp said: "Our owner is ready to pay for an exceptional talent like Hazard.
"I saw him play at Marseille in January and against Paris Saint Germain in the final of the French Cup last May.
"But I know United are following him closely and so are City. It will be difficult to get him but I like him a lot."
Redknapp also confirmed the club came close to signing Marseille striker Loic Remy in January.
He added: "Yes, we wanted to get him, we tried. I like him but he wasn't for sale. We like him a lot — he's a very good player."

Spurs and Arsenal have been locked in a battle to try and sign the Belgian playmaker, 21.
But City boss Roberto Mancini, assistant David Platt and chief football administration officer Brian Marwood flew to France to watch Hazard score one goal and set up two more in Lille's 4-0 win over Valenciennes.
And the trio were expected to open negotiations about a summer deal for Hazard, who has a £33million release clause in his contract.
Manchester United and Chelsea are interested as well and Alex Ferguson also watched Hazard last weekend.
But City believe they can outbid any of their rivals with a deal worth over £150,000 a week.
Hazard revealed: "I heard before the game that Mancini was there.
"For my part I always try and play the same way, whether Alex Ferguson's there or Mancini now.
"I try and forget about that when I'm on the pitch, I try to play my own game. No matter who's in the stands I just try to show what I can do.
"We'll see what happens, but for now I'm concentrating on finishing the season well with Lille."
any more bids from the riches?
