Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has hinted that others are set to follow him in putting pen to paper at the club, indicating that "we see people want to be part of this special project".

The Spurs manager shot down reports linking him with the vacant Real Madrid job this week during a press conference in Barcelona to promote his book "A Brave New World".

In doing so he indicated that others are also excited about the coming season in Tottenham's new stadium.

The likes of Christian Eriksen, Jan Vertonghen, Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son are all expected to sign new deals in the coming weeks along with a string of others.

"We’re a great group of people. The technical staff, the board and the players we all believe in this project," Pochettino said on Friday.

"We want to make the new stadium a reference in football. And we see people want to be part of this special project.

"I am very happy to be at Tottenham. Let’s enjoy this moment now and in the future see what happens."

The Spurs manager's words about people wanting to be part of the project could also be suggesting that new signings are on the way.

The club are trying to bring new faces through the door earlier this summer in order to have them in place for Pochettino's pre-season training which begins on July 2.

On the Madrid speculation, Pochettino added: "I take it naturally, it does not affect me at all, I am involved in a spectacular project where the motivation is tremendous.

"I renewed my contract recently for another five years, I am happy and I am happy that people at Tottenham are happy with me.

"Now I’m ready to go for lunch. Not to take over Real Madrid. I’m excited to go back to London. The project is exciting."
