Mauricio Pochettino has effectively ruled out making any new signings in January, saying Tottenham Hotspur's current situation is comparable to that of Arsenal's when they moved to the Emirates Stadium.
Per David Hytner in the Guardian, when asked ahead of Wednesday's clash with the Gunners about potential January additions, the Argentinian manager shook his head, showed an empty trouser pocket and said to the club press officer: "He [the journalist] asks me if I am going to spend money. I don't have money."
He then repeated the gesture to indicate the north London club have no funds for January signings and explained the cost of Spurs' new stadium, which they have yet to move in to, has impacted their ability to add to the squad:
"One thing you need to understand is that Tottenham built a new training ground and built what is going to be one of the best stadiums in the world with our own resources.
