Tottenham Hotspur are facing major changes this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettno has told the London Evening Standard that the club’s rebuild this summer will be ‘painful’.
Spurs lost 1-0 away at Bournemouth on Saturday afternoon, falling to a late Nathan Ake goal as their patchy end-of-season form continues.
Tottenham have now won just three of their last 11 Premier League games, and four defeats in the last five games in all competitions is far from ideal.
It’s clear that Pochettino needs some reinforcements this summer in order to strengthen his squad for next season, and it could be an action-packed summer.
Tottenham will surely sign a player for the first time since January 31st 2018, and a host of players could be primed for the Spurs exit door come the end of the season.
Michel Vorm, Toby Alderweireld, Kieran Trippier, Serge Aurier, Christian Eriksen, Fernando Llorente and Vincent Janssen are just a host of players who could move on.
Now, Pochettino has given his thoughts on the upcoming window, suggesting that he needs to rebuild his squad this summer, and told fans that it will be ‘painful’ to go through such an overhaul.
“When you talk about Tottenham, everyone says you have an amazing house but you need to put in the furniture,” said Pochettino. “If you want to have a lovely house maybe you need better furniture. And it depends on your budget if you are going to spend money. We need to be respectful with teams like Manchester City or Liverpool who spend a lot of money. We are brave, we are clever, we are creative.”
“Now it’s about creating another chapter and to have the clear idea of how we are going to build that new project. We need to rebuild. It’s going to be painful,” he added.
