Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be active in the summer transfer window.

Jamie Redknapp has told Sky Sports, during their live coverage of Tottenham Hotspur’s match against Crystal Palace, that it is hard to see where Mauricio Pochettino’s side can improve.

Tottenham have such a strong starting line-up that Redknapp fails to see any weaknesses.

And the Sky Sports pundit believes that could prove to be problematic for Spurs in the summer transfer window, as anyone they bring in is likely to struggle to break into Pochettino’s starting line-up.

Redknapp said: “They’re one or two players [away from winning the league]. But you try and think what they need for next season… do they need another striker? Janssen hasn’t worked out, but if you buy a top class striker he won’t play – Harry Kane is one of the best in the world.

“Do you buy another number 10? You already have Eriksen and Alli. “Defensively they have only conceded 22 goals. When you look at Spurs’ squad there’s not a lot wrong with it.”

Tottenham are expected to invest in the summer transfer window, with Pochettino aiming to improve the depth of his squad.

Although Spurs have one of the strongest starting line-ups in the Premier League, they arguably don’t have the depth of some of their rivals.

Tottenham have already been linked with Hull City defender Harry Maguire and Bayern Munich winger Douglas Costa (Daily Mail), prior to the summer transfer window.

Tottenham’s current squad have guided them into second place in the Premier League table – with the Lilywhites currently sitting four points behind league leaders Chelsea.
