An ankle injury to Harry Kane has left Spurs shortchanged in attack prompting them to be active in this month’s transfer market.

The Argentine though, dismissed that the injury to Kane would change their plans in the market this month.
"It didn't change [our approach to January window] all that happen with Harry," said Pochettino.
"Son we knew was involved in the Asian Cup for a few weeks. We were always open to improve with Harry in condition or not, but in the same time we know it is going to be tough and difficult to add the player that we want.
"It didn't change our mind, I think it's a very good opportunity for players to play more, to step up. I'm sure it's going to be a good opportunity for young players through the academy to show their quality.”

Lyon’s president Jean-Michel Aulas claimed that the Reds are to blame for the collapse of the Fekir deal last June.
“At the final moment, the three parties did not find an agreement, but not just Liverpool and Lyon, who had had an agreement,” he told RMC Sport’s Breaking Sport.
“There was a change of heart from Liverpool’s point of view, as we were in a tight situation in that Nabil was about to go to the World Cup, we decided to finish [talks].
“Nabil at the time was okay with all of that.”
