Newly appointed Tottenham Hotspur head coach Mauricio Pochettino has guaranteed to bring attacking football to Tottenham, after agreeing a five-year deal at the club, but what can he and the Spurs side achieve in the coming season and what can their fans expect in this transfer window?

Pochettino has taken the reigns at Spurs this summer after a decision was made to replace Tim Sherwood, following a sixth-place finish last season which led to qualification for the Europa league.

Moussa Dembele spent most of his time on the treatment table last season and never really thrived under Sherwood, so he is definitely excited to see what Pochettino will bring to the club.

“Of course it’s good to have a change and a fresh start. We have a very good group of players and if we have a very good manager as well, then we can do big things.” said the midfielder.

These words from the Belgian indicate that a new era for Tottenham Hotspur, under Pochettino, will bring team cohesion, ultimately leading to success at White Hart Lane. Or at least he hopes that will be the case.

Pochettino is also the man Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has dubbed to deliver Champions League football to his club, hoping he will accomplish something that Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood were both unsuccessful in achieving.

In my opinion, all the signs are evident that Pochettino will be up to the task. In just 16 months at the St Mary’s helm, the former Argentina international was altered from a virtually unheard of manager, to one of the hottest managerial prospects around.

Exploiting a squad consisting of home-grown talent and shrewd acquisitions, Pochettino led Saints to their best-ever Premier League finish last campaign, with his possession-based, offensive philosophy astonishing suitors.

Furthermore, the boss is readying moves to bring in his first signings, with the club in advanced talks to bring in a trio of summer additions.

For my part, the Argentine may struggle to win the race to capture Morgan Schneiderlin from the grasp of Arsenal. Although, he is closing in on another pair of his former Southampton charges.

Pochettino is ready to table a £34million bid to bring in England international forward Jay Rodriguez and centre-half Dejan Lovren. The former rumored to have been offered a new long-term contract; the latter linked with Liverpool, after the Reds had an initial bid rejected.

Tottenham could well do with a new attacking alternative given the disappointments last time round. Selection headaches are mandatory to make up for previous failures. Pochettino values 24 year old Rodriguez highly and feels the former Burnley man is the ideal man to spearhead his Spurs strike-force.

Rodriguez found the net 15 times last term and an anterior cruciate ligament injury in April, was conceivably the only impediment to him securing a spot in Roy Hodgson’s 2014 World Cup squad. A move to the North London outfit will definitely attract the prolific Saints marksman and he will certainly lead the line, when he recovers.

A move for Croatian defender Lovren will unquestionably solidify Tottenham’s leaky back-line and the former Lyon man is reported to be open to a move, to reunite with Pochettino at N17.

However, Pochettino is ready to offer youngster Erik Lamela the chance to impress after injury problems and I believe he deserves it. Spanish international Roberto Soldado surely has to be offloaded whilst Emmanuel Adebayor, who finished as the club’s top scorer last season, needs to take a pay-cut or else he too will be sold.

A move for Croatian defender Lovren will unquestionably solidify Tottenham’s leaky rear-guard and the former Lyon man, is reported to be open to a move, to reunite with Pochettino.

Pochettino has to sell Micheal Dawson, Younes Kaboul and keep Jan Vertonghen. Romanian Vlad Chiriches should be part of his first team plans, for the back-line.

The acquisition that appears closest to completion is Swansea City’s Ben Davies with Tottenham’s offer of £10m, reported to be one the Liberty Stadium side is taking into consideration.

I feel that the young Welshman is a better option in comparison to the likes of Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Danny Rose. He will provide a major upgrade and is defensively sound, as well as a threat going forward.

Sandro and Gylfi Sigurdsson are also players that could be on the fringes of the club. Zenit are interested in the former and Swansea are reported to have enquired about the latter. So those teams could be two destinations for the duo, should they part ways with the club.

The only good transfer news for Spurs fans thus far I suppose, is Hugo Lloris has recently put pen to paper on a deal that should keep him at the side for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur’s 58,000-capacity stadium strategy has taken a key step forward, after the government accepted an obligatory purchase order, permitting construction work to begin. Spurs expect to be able to open the new stadium, which will be built next to White Hart Lane, in 2017.

I presume the potential outlook seems bright for Tottenham and finally they just might finish in that coveted 4th place, to qualify for the Champions league, a competition they greatly desire to be a part of.
