Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be asked to work miracles with his Tottenham Hotspur squad again next season, with a number of their Premier League rivals preparing to outspend them.

Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is ready to sanction a £30million move for midfielder Andre Gomes, who has spent the season on loan at Everton from Barcelona, while Tottenham are among a number of clubs to have made enquires about Nice right-back Youcef Atal, who would cost at least £34m.

Given Pochettino also wants to add an attacking player to his squad, Tottenham’s summer spend could easily push towards the £100m mark, particularly if the likes of Christian Eriksen, Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld leave, but sources currently rate it unlikely that Spurs will make more than two or three significant signings.

Tottenham ideally also need to sign at least one English player to keep on top of Premier League and Champions League home-grown player rules, with Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon and Jack Grealish two of their long-term targets.

Pochettino wants to bring in players who can make an immediate impact on his team and squad, so signing three players who can slot straight in may well satisfy his demands, and chairman Daniel Levy has insisted to supporters that repayments on the new £1billion stadium will not significantly impact the club’s transfer budget.
