Pochettino wants to conclude transfer business early

Mauricio Pochettino has hinted that Spurs will conclude their transfer activity as early as possible in the summer due to the impending World Cup.

“We are working with Steve,” he said to Express. “The World Cup only can confirm your idea about a player. It is so dangerous to go and scout players in the World Cup because, if a player is good, how after are you going to sign him?

“Sometimes you need to anticipate and say, ‘OK this player can be good for us’ and then he goes to the World Cup. But you need to sign before the tournament starts because he is doing well and then you will have a lot of competition if they are good.”
