Jose Mourinho is still trying to create a more balanced Tottenham squad and intends to use the transfer market to do it.
Mourinho has said he has “too many players” on his books, but having already signed five players this summer, the club are still on the lookout for at least two more.
“Is the club trying to build that balanced squad that we all want, yes we are trying. Let’s see if that’s possible.”
The former England international made his debut in Thursday night’s Europa League qualifying win over Shkendija, a game Spurs won 3-1 in North Macedonia.
“That’s important right now,” he told the club’s official website. “We’ve games coming thick and fast, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday, and I know people say you get paid to play football, but it is tough, a big ask.
“It’s a really important match, they all are. We had a meeting at the start of the season and there are obviously a lot of goals in the long term, but in the short term it’s to win every game. Now we focus our attention on Newcastle.
“That’s the most important game for us now.”
