Tottenham Hotspur have not signed anybody yet this summer.

Damien Comolli has told TalkSport that it’s a near-impossible task for Tottenham Hotspur to improve their first XI, on their budget, but believes Mauricio Pochettino could add up to three young squad players.

Tottenham are the only Premier League club yet to sign a player of any description and it’s leading to some frustration within the fanbase.

Spurs have mounted serious title challenges over the past two seasons, but failing to strengthen, coupled with their move to Wembley, has raised doubts over their capacity to be in the thick of things title-wise again next term.

However, the club’s former Director of Football believes that Pochettino, with his wage bill, has a very difficult job in improving the Lilywhites’ best XI with his resources and claims that the North Londoners will be after young and unproven talent this month.

“Daniel Levy and Mauricio Pochettino are working with less money than everybody else and working on a lot smaller wage bill than any of the Premier League’s top five – we need to give them some credit.

“So to reinforce that team with players who are as good or better than those players, and as young too, it’s almost an impossible task.

“They’re probably looking for young and up-and-coming players to come and compliment that team, probably two or three and I’m sure they’ll achieve that in the end.”
