Jose Mourinho has hinted to Football London that Tottenham Hotspur will not be spending massive amounts on one player this summer.
Mourinho has led Tottenham into Europe this season, which should help to boost their budget for the transfer window.
It is thought that Mourinho wants to make some alterations to his Tottenham side, with strengthening his defence a major priority.
Tottenham have been linked with a huge amount of players heading into the summer transfer window already.
However, Mourinho has played down suggestions that there will be wholesale changes made to his Tottenham squad.
“What we can do is improve,” Mourinho said. “When all the players are available we showed in this last period where we belong. After lockdown maybe we finished third or fourth in the table. That is where we belong.
“I want to have my team, my players, not a medical room full of players, a pitch full of players. We want to keep our very good players and after that improve the squad. Are we going to buy 10 players. No? Are we going to pay £100m for a player? No.
“Let’s see. I don’t know, the market is very strange, I don’t know if we start working pre-season with any new players or something that is going to go through the whole period.
“We are going to keep the structure of the team because we have absolutely no interest in selling our best players.”
If Tottenham can keep their side together, while strengthening some of their weak areas, then there is cautious optimism that next season could be very promising.
Tottenham have undoubtedly underperformed this term, but Mourinho has still been able to take them from 14th place into sixth.
And, since the Premier League restart, there is reason to feel that Tottenham have shown signs of encouragement that they could challenge for the top four again next season.
