Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte says the club knows the importance of signing players in January as they bid to book their place in the Champions League knockout stages.
Spurs will be in the last 16 with a game to spare if they beat Sporting Lisbon at home on Wednesday.
Conte's side have several injury concerns and have lost their last two Premier League games.
"We have to take this big achievement of going to the next round," he said.
"I think the club understand very well the importance of bringing in important players, good players, in January," added Conte.
