Tottenham are "playing with fire" if they do not sign new recruits during the January transfer window, manager Ange Postecoglou has said as the injury-hit squad continues to struggle in the Premier League.
Spurs are a lowly 15th in the table, closer to the relegation zone than European competition spots after just one win in their last 10 games, which include seven losses.
The club also have the longest injury list in the league, with 12 players sidelined including record signing Dominic Solanke.
The England striker is expected to miss six weeks of action due to a knee injury.
