Mauricio Pochettino rules out new signings at Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur surprised the world by not making any signings to reinforce their side ahead of the start of the current season. They currently sit third on the Premier League table but have temporarily lost the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli to injuries.
Contrary to most people's opinion that Spurs would sign reinforcements in the current transfer window, the club's manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has now dismissed any and all possibilities of recruiting new players.
As per reports from Goal.com, when asked about potential new signings, Pochettino said:
"I am going to talk now with my chief scout Steve Hitchen, I am going to ask for some news. I expect that maybe some player is going to leave but I do not expect that we are going to add to the squad."
"I am going to talk because I want some news, but not because I am expecting to sign a player."
