Tottenham Hotspur are set to lose Heung-Min Son this month, in what looks like a major blow.
Tottenham are set to lose Son in the middle of January, in what could be a blow to their chances of sustaining their excellent form.
The South Korean international has been in wonderful form in recent weeks, scoring seven goals in as many Premier League matches for Spurs.
But Pochettino insists that Tottenham will not rush and buy a new number nine, even though Son is set to depart.
“No, it is true that we are disappointed with that situation with Sonny, but we are not going to take a decision based on that,” Pochettino insisted, when asked if Spurs would buy a striker this month.
“We are only going to take a decision if all the things are in a very good position that is going to improve our squad, or is going to be good business for the club. If not, impossible.”
Tottenham could be set to lose Fernando Llorente in January, so they could be left with Harry Kane as their only truly recognised senior striker.
Pochettino will hope that his squad is not stretched too badly, despite what has been a demanding schedule of late.
Tottenham have climbed into title contention, and they are still fighting in the Champions League, League Cup and FA Cup.
Spurs are next in action later this evening when they take on Tranmere Rovers, and Pochettino may use the game as an opportunity to rest some of his more senior players.
