Tottenham transfer news: Mauricio Pochettino ‘not optimistic’ about January signings
Mauricio Pochettino admits he no longer expects Tottenham to sign anyone this month, despite being optimistic just a few days ago.Last week, the Spurs boss confirmed the club were working on some potential incomings to help ease their current injury crisis, however the situation appears to have changed.3

Mauricio Pochettino is not hopefuly of signing any new players

Tottenham often leave their dealings to the last minute, and while some late business remains possible, Pochettino is not getting his hopes up.“You know how we work,” Pochettino said. “In the last minute everything can happen. Of course different players maybe will have the opportunity to leave the club.“We’re going to see. Of course there’s not too much time. “A few days ago I was very optimistic about some options to sign – realistic options to sign – but today no, I’m not optimistic.”The club continue to be linked with Monaco’s Youri Tielemans, while striker Vincent Janssen could leave before Thursday’s 11pm deadine.Pochettino insistshe is part of the decision-making process and it will be a club decision if they do not bring anyone in.3

Tielemans has been linked with Tottenham

“The most important thing is we decide as a club, every single decision is about the club, we share all the decisions,” he said.“It is not me that has 100m to spend or I want to sign or I don’t want to sign, the decision is about about working with the club, with the resources we have.“At the same time I need to take best decision for the club, for our fans, watching the big picture, not only today and tomorrow.3

Vincent Janssen could be sold in the coming days

“That is my responsibility as a manager. If we don’t sign it is not because I don’t want to sign it’s because we are not capable to find player that will help us.“Tottenham we have plenty of opportunity to sign, for different reasons it is difficult to explain to you that we can’t sign, not because we don’t want.”
