#2 Inactivity in the transfer window
Every other top side in the league has recruited at least a couple of players except Spurs. Jurgen Klopp is breaking the banks in the Merseyside while Mauricio Pochettino has chosen to remain quiet in the transfer window.
No doubt it’s always good to have some old bunch of players around for the new campaign particularly when you had a great season with them. But the problem persists, their squad depth will remain same and they won’t have back up for their fatigued players until they sign someone.
Besides, they genuinely need a central midfielder. Their current troupe includes Mousa Dembele, Eric Dier, Victor Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko; who all play the holding role, while Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen and Lucas Moura are attacking minded and ply their trade in the attacking third of the pitch more often. And Harry Winks is one for the future. So, Spurs certainly lacks a genuine quality central midfielder.
Perhaps the only positive thing in this situation is that any major departure seems unlikely and Heung-Min Son and Erik Lamela have signed long-term contracts.
