Tottenham Hotspur enter this summer's transfer market knowing that a handful of shrewd acquisitions could fortify their position among the Premier League for the long term.
There are no huge flaws in the young, flexible squad that Mauricio Pochettino has assembled at White Hart Lane.
Spurs finished 2015-16 with the equal-best defence and second-best attack in the division, so there would be no justification for major changes.
However, with the almost certain offseason departure of the unfavoured Federico Fazio, Pochettino will need to sign another quality central defender.
Kevin Wimmer proved an able understudy when he replaced Jan Vertonghen for several months, but Spurs possess no comparable replacement if the superb Toby Alderweireld requires time out of the team.
