Mauricio Pochettino believes that Spurs successfully navigated the summer transfer period, regardless of the fact that no new players joined the club.
The Argentine manager highlighted that securing long-term contract extensions for both himself and star striker Harry Kane was a vital victory for the club.
\"I don't feel any worry or sadness; in fact, I'm quite happy,\" remarked Pochettino, noting that his team was the only one in the Premier League to make zero signings.
On a busy deadline day Spurs remained quiet, leading to the Tottenham Supporters’ Trust stating they want “a full and credible explanation of what has happened” during this window.
Spurs targeted Aston Villa's Jack Grealish as the window closed, but the Midlands side turned down a £25 million bid for their midfielder.
Pochettino pointed out that Spurs compete for the same top-tier talent as Europe's elite giants, which complicates negotiations. He argued that retaining world-class talent is far more valuable than signing mediocre replacements.
He further explained, \"Our current squad is highly competitive, and finding players who can actually elevate the team's level is a difficult task.\"
\"Additionally, since we didn't sell anyone, managing a squad of 25 players makes it harder to fit in new additions.\"
\"We are eyeing the same quality of players as clubs like Manchester City, Manchester United, or Real Madrid, but sometimes the circumstances just don't align.\"
\"When you can't find a signing that truly improves the group, the priority shifts to ensuring your top players don't leave.\"
