Tottenham Hotspur have yet to sign a player in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has told Football.London that he is trying to sign players in the summer transfer window.

The North London outfit have yet to make a signing so far this summer and have also lost right-back Kyle Walker to Premier League rivals Manchester City.

The right-back is an area that needs to be addressed, especially after Kieran Trippier got injured during the pre-season friendly match against Juventus at the Wembley Stadium in London on Saturday evening.

Pochettino has said that he is trying to sign players before the end of the summer transfer window, and has also responded to the question about recruiting a right-back.

“I think we are working, trying to add some players to the squad,” Pochettino told Football.London when asked if he is confident that he has enough strength in depth.

“But that [Trippier] does not change our idea. Our idea was to, the same as before, to try to provide the team with more strength and try to sign a few players before the end of the transfer window.

“We are looking at different positions in the team and trying to bring the right profile of player,” Pochettino told Football.London when asked if he is looking for a right-back. “But we are looking to add in different positions of the pitch, different players.”

Signing a right-back needs to be a priority for Tottenham. True, it will be hard for Spurs to find someone as good as Walker in the transfer market, but the North London outfit have to bring in someone with quality to at least compete with Trippier for the position.

Tottenham finished second in the Premier League last season and will be aiming to win the league title during the 2017-18 campaign.
