Tottenham Hotspur finished in second place in the Premier League last season.

Mauricio Pochettino has told ESPN FC that he believes Tottenham Hotspur could challenge for the Premier League title again, even if they don’t make a signing this summer.

Spurs are the only team in the Premier League yet to make a new addition, and some concerns have started to form over a lack of ambition.

Tottenham have been accused of standing still, while every one of their rivals have strengthened.

However, Pochettino believes that Spurs will be able to compete again, after finishing in second place last term.

“Last season we were asked the same question and then we went really close,” he said, when asked if Tottenham’s current squad can win the Premier League, even without new additions this summer.

“It’s true that Chelsea were the best team [last season]. It’s true that they weren’t in European competition and that helped a lot, but we’ll see what happens next season because every one of the top six is in Europe next season.”

Pochettino insisted to ESPN that he was calm about Tottenham’s lack of signings, but there is some concern in the Lilywhites’ fan base.

Spurs are currently in the USA, as they step up their pre-season preparations ahead of the new campaign.

Tottenham’s first match comes against newly promoted Newcastle United at St. James’ Park in August.
