Danny Rose has implored Tottenham bosses to splash the cash on big name players if they're to compete with their Premier League rivals.

Spurs have been notably quiet in the transfer window but have managed to keep most of their stars.

Rose says a statement before August 31 would be welcomed by the players.

“I am not saying buy ten players, I’d love to see two or three — and not players you have to Google and say, ‘Who’s that?’ I mean well-known players,” he says in an interview with The Sun.

Rose is proud of Spurs being a club that promotes young talent but a big name is what they need for the upcoming season at their temporary home of Wembley.
