Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino admits his side do not yet have the finances to compete with Europe’s elite clubs.
Pochettino failed to make a single signing during the summer transfer window and has yet to bring in any new faces this month either.
The Argentine has come under increasing pressure to dip into the transfer market after Harry Kane and Dele Alli were ruled out until March with ankle and hamstring injuries respectively.
The club’s faltering form, which saw them go out of the Carabao Cup and FA Cup in the space of four days last week, has also led to calls for Pochettino to freshen up his squad.
