Tottenham Hotspur are currently without their two top goal scorers, with Harry Kane out injured until early March, and Son spending a few weeks away on international duty with South Korea.
Lucas Moura has also been out injured, but is expected to return in some capacity on Thursday in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
Spurs faced their first test against Fulham yesterday, as they searched to replace the goals from Kane and Son that have driven their season so far.
The result only highlighted Tottenham’s need to bring in some extra firepower, as Fernando Llorente only managed to put the ball into the back of his own net.
Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness has said enough is enough, and that Pochettino has gone along with the lack of signings for too long.
He has urged Poch to demand new signings, as the likes of Llorente will not be enough to replace Kane’s goals and creativity.
Souness said on SkySports (as reported by the Daily Mail): “This was always going to happen. It could have been so much worse, it could have been a cruciate, out for the season. They are light.
