Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Spurs won’t be forced to change transfer policy because of the injuries to Dele Alli and Harry Kane. The Lilywhites are without three key players, which also includes Heung-min Son who is in the UAE representing South Korea in the AFC Asian Cup, but even then they won’t bend on principles.

The Argentine made it clear that while he is open to improving the squad, he is not a fan of bit-part signings to replace injured players for the time being.

“It is so clear, I am so open to improve the squad and add a player if Harry Kane and Dele Alli are fit or not fit. I was open in the summer and I am open now,” he said.

“The difficult thing is to find quality that will add to the squad. We are not going to change strategy, we are working, we will see what happens at the end.”
