• Manager wary of effects of longer European transfer window• ‘Any club from Europe can create a big problem’
Tottenham are going into the season having significantly strengthened their squad but Mauricio Pochettino remains wary of European rivals poaching his players before the transfer window closes on the continent, with Christian Eriksen the main target.
The Spurs manager describes himself as “happy plus” after signing Giovani Lo Celso and Ryan Sessegnon, adding to the recruitment of Tanguy Ndombele earlier in the summer. But with the window still open in Europe until 2 September, he would not rule out departures in the coming weeks.
