Tottenham boss says decisions will be made to improve the team.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino
Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has told The Telegraph of the conversation he has had with chairman Daniel Levy regarding player sales.
Pochettino says he has been assured no players will be sold against his will, and that despite ongoing stadium build costs, they do not need to cash in on their assets.
The Argentine admits that they will need to sell to buy, but this can be done by simply selling their unwanted players, rather than their top stars.

He said: “The players that we want to keep, we will keep. Because he [Levy] said to me: ‘We don’t need money.’ If we sell some players it is because we want to sell some players.
“We will sell players because of the players we want to sign. For our fans, it is so clear that all the decisions we take are for the reason to try to improve the team, try to be more competitive next season.”
