Tottenham Hotspur might not not make any signings - Mauricio Pochettino
With the start of the Premier League season just days away, the FC panel assess how Tottenham's lack of transfer activity will affect their top-four chances. Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino is happy with what he has seen in pre-season from his younger players and feels Luke Amos could break into the side. Tottenham's Mauricio Pochettino feels English sides are at a disadvantage to European clubs due to the transfer window closing earlier.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said it is possible the club could get to the end of the transfer window without having made any signings.
Spurs are hopeful of bringing in Aston Villa midfielder Jack Grealish, but have yet to add to their squad with the window closing at 5pm on Aug. 9.
"Yes," Pochettino said when asked whether the chance remains that they could end up empty-handed. "We are working so hard but still we are like we were on the first day of the transfer window, with no signings.
"I think I'm not the person to explain this. Of course people expect the manager to explain it. But in this situation for different reasons it has been difficult to add players who can help us, but you know in the last week many things can happen.
"Am I relaxed? No, I'm not relaxed. I am a coach and when you are a coach you cannot be relaxed.
"You need to be confident and trust in the people that you have, and the way we work. But of course football is always about adding more quality every season like different clubs, our contenders, are doing."
Pochettino said that Spurs "need to try to be creative" if they do not make additions and added: "Of course the help from the younger players would be amazing. They showed [in the U.S.] they can help us if we don't sign players."
