A number of deals are inching closer to completion, with Ajax defender Davinson Sanchez, Celta Vigo midfielder Pape Cheikh Diop, Southampton No 2 Paulo Gazzaniga and unwanted Everton man Ross Barkley all strongly linked with moves to north London.

Poch said: "I want four players if possible but it is not easy.

"We need time to work We always sign three or four, every season.

"It's important to try to assess the players who have possibility to come.

"We are a very strong group, and we create good habits and philosophy. It's not easy for us to sign the right profile.

"But easy for players to come to Tottenham, because good people will come. Most important thing is trying to be right in the players we sign for the future of the club."

Having lost Kyle Walker in a massive deal to Manchester City, Spurs have been chasing a replacement at right-back for weeks.

The £35million deal to bring Sanchez in from Ajax is close to completion.

But the Argentine said: "I cannot speak about [Sanchez], he's not our player, he's in another club and I fully respect every club and every player.

"I never speak about rumours but we expect to sign some players before the end of the window.

"That's our aim, to try to improve the squad and bring in new faces and new energy.

"It will be a long season and we need to add some players."

The Tottenham manager also revealed that he expects Kieran Trippier to be fit to face Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Sunday.
