Tottenham Hotspur are likely to make signings in the summer transfer window.
Spurs have secured their place in the top four of the Premier League for the third season in a row.
As with all clubs, the North London outfit will be looking to make signings in the summer transfer window and enhance the quality of their current squad.
Tottenham manager Pochettino has admitted that they may not always be able to sign the players that they want, comments that could worry the North London club’s fans.
Pochettino told ESPN: ”We have some idea [what we want]. Of course we are working to deliver what is best for the team. It won’t be easy but we are going to try.
“The number of players [available] will be limited, like every season, and the market today is going up. The last few seasons have become crazy, no?
“Sometimes we have priority players to sign, but maybe another club arrives with more money and you say ‘ok, we need to find another option.’
“Sometimes you need to sign opportunities when you can’t get your top priorities. To be sure it’s complicated.”
Sensible or defeatist?
One suspects that many of Tottenham’s summer transfer targets will be wanted by other major clubs in England and in mainland Europe.
From that perspective, it would make sense for Spurs to have Plan B and Plan C so that they can move onto other transfer targets.
However, Tottenham should not give up easily and must fight for their top targets, even if they are challenged by richer clubs.
Spurs are moving into a new stadium with a bigger capacity, they have some of the best players in the Premier League, and will be challenging for the Premier League next season – factors that could attract quality players.
