The English Premier League starts tonight and like every transfer window, big money moves were made, new stars were introduced, voids were filled and necessary players were bought in while the less used ones were sold or loaned.

Since the idea of a transfer window came to life, something strange has happened in the EPL as Tottenham Hotspur becomes the first ever EPL team to not sign even a single player in the transfer window.

While the Spurs fans are demanding an explanation for what has happened, the club boss Mauricio Pochettino claimed that he is very happy to keep all his great players at the club.

"We have a very good squad and very good players, it's not easy to add ones who'll improve that. I'm very happy with the squad I have", he further added.

Spurs have been playing some brilliant football lately under the Argentine manager who've recently signed a long term deal with the club. Club's talisman Harry Kane was the other one to sign a long term deal with the club.

Despite not signing any new players in the transfer window, Spurs have all the quality to compete for the EPL and UCL titles with the strength they possess within their squad.

Let's take a look at 3 factors which would make them unstoppable in the coming season.


#3 Well settled defence

Despite the growing speculations over Toby Alderweireld's future and Manchester United's interest in the player, Spurs were successful in keeping the player at the club who'd provide much strength in the defence.

Trippier, Toby, Rose, Walker, Aurier, Sanchez could be rotated on and off and would provide more depth as they'd be looking to challenge the 'Citizens' for the EPL title.

The French captain Hugo Lloris is always high on morale and keeps his defence well organised. Being a brilliant shot stopper, he once came into the radar of Real Madrid but evidently stayed at Spurs as they managed to keep all their brilliant players.

Spurs conceded 36 goals in the EPL 17-18 and would like to further improve their defensive records in the forthcoming season.

#2 Well Composed Midfield

Pochettino likes to gamble with the midfield and somehow it always works for him. As Tottenham failed to sign any new player this summer, it is quite obvious that their midfield would look same as last year. In terms of build up and creativity, that midfield did wonders for Spurs as they became a lethal attacking force.

This is a brave step from Pochettino and company. The relatively deep squad would help him adjust the midfield. Christian Erikson has the ability to pair with any midfielder and still deliver what is expected from him.

Dele Alli, Eriksen and Dembele would be strong enough defensively as well, as they'll be creating goal scoring chances for the forwards as well as themselves.

Eriksen controls the tempo of Spurs midfield and could be called the engine of the London club. Spurs midfield have always been their strength and it is expected that the tradition will continue this season as well.

#1 Lethal attack surrounding Kane

The World Cup golden boot winner has the ability to score at any point of the game provided that a good build up ends up in a cross for him. Kane is the most lethal finisher of the ball in the world and with Son, Alli, Erikson providing him chances to score, he never disappoints to deliver.

Harry Kane is very hungry in terms of goals and always loves to score as many goals as possible. Last season he scored 30 goals in the EPL itself and was the top scorer in the FIFA World Cup after bagging 6 goals and led England to the semi finals after a long time.

Spurs possess one of the most lethal attack in Europe at the moment and there was no need to add any player in the attacking squad provided that all the current players stayed.

Goal scoring have never been a problem for Kane and company and he'll be looking to demolish any opposition which comes in their way.
