Mauricio Pochettino admits Spurs may not make any January signings | OneFootball

Tottenham made Premier League history over the summer by becoming the first club in the transfer window era to not make any summer signings.

Now Mauricio Pochettino admits he wouldn’t be upset if the club failed to sign anyone in January.

“No, not disappointed. I know very well that January is always difficult,” he said.

“In the same way, if you find some player, look what happened to different players that arrive in January last season.

“It takes time to understand and to perform, to fit with the team. Sometimes it’s better not to sign if you don’t find the right player.”

Fernando Llorente and Georges-Kevin N’Koudou have struggled to see the pitch this season and Pochettino understands that some players may have to leave to get first-team action.

“Sometimes, players who maybe don’t play too much they need to go and play in another [club].

“OK, you can manage, but players that cannot manage to spend all the season not being important in the team, that is the moment to talk with players that are maybe disappointed because they don’t play too much.

“Maybe the best decision is to send them on loan or to sell some players but that is about when the moment arrives to talk with different players.”

Spurs will face Burnley on Saturday with a chance to extend their record start. A victory could see them pull to within two points of leaders Manchester City.
