Tottenham are open to doing a late deal, even if their manager considers it unlikely.
Tottenham Hotspur have been in Spain this week on a training camp, with Mauricio Pochettino focused on improving the players he has as opposed to adding more.
Yet the head coach admitted there was a small chance Spurs could make a late addition, even if he is not convinced.

He told The Star: “It doesn’t happen yet and for me it is not impossible, one per-cent maybe, but I don’t believe we will sign anybody.”
So for Spurs to make a move, it would have to be if a special player suddenly became available, a long term target who would be worth changing their plans for.
Here are three potential big name additions they could consider…
Wilfried Zaha
Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha celebrates scoring
The Crystal Palace winger is making an early return to the UK after Ivory Coast were knocked out of the African Nations Cup in the group stages.
This puts a potential deal back in play, even though he is likely to be key to Palace’s chances of Premier League survival.
Tottenham tried to sign the winger in the summer unsuccessfully, and their best hope is if Palace realise they need to sell in order to fund their own targets, and can lure Spurs into paying a big fee for the former Manchester United man.
Alvaro Morata
Spain’s Alvaro Morata shoots at goal
After Alvaro Morata’s big homecoming to Real Madrid this summer from Juventus, the Spanish striker has not exactly set Spanish football alight.
The 24-year-old has only five La Liga goals, and nine in all competitions.
The Evening Standard reported this week that Real could let him leave, amid interest from Chelsea and Arsenal, and at the right price, Tottenham could consider an ambitious deal.
