Dele Alli believes Tottenham do not need to spend big in the transfer window and called for his team-mates to stay put.
Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino has already admitted the club cannot compete with richer rivals for signings, despite securing a Champions League place for next season, but insisted Tottenham will "keep the players we want to keep".
Alli has been linked with a move to clubs in the Premier League and around Europe, along with the likes of Harry Kane and Toby Alderweireld, but the 21-year-old midfielder believes Spurs' success relies on keeping the dressing room as it is.
"With the players we've got here, we don't need to go out and spend loads of money," said Alli. "There is a good bunch of players here. Everyone is determined, everyone works hard and there is a lot of quality in the team.
"It is important we stick together, keep working hard and keep improving. We have to take our form from the end of this season into next season, and start even stronger.
"Then, if we can finish as well as we did this season, we should be OK."
Alli scored 10 Premier League goals for Spurs in his breakthrough 2015-16 campaign, but registered just three before December this season.
Eventually finishing the campaign with 22 goals in all competitions, the former MK Dons midfielder revealed a change in his movement was the reason behind his flurry in 2017.
"Maybe in my first season, players weren't used to me running into the box from midfield, so they weren't expecting it," said Alli. "This season, they got a little bit more used to it.
"So I've had to time my runs a little bit better, and I've had to be a bit sharper with the way I move off defenders. I've had to try to judge the flight of the ball a little bit better.
"At the start of the season I struggled a bit, perhaps because I didn't expect players to be so used to me. So I had to change my game. I started playing a bit higher up the pitch and scoring a few more goals."
