Manager Mauricio Pochettino is not optimistic that Tottenham will sign any players before the end of the January transfer window

The Netherlands international, who joined Spurs from AZ Alkmaar on a four-year contract in 2016 for a fee understood to be £18.6m, has not featured at all for Mauricio Pochettino this season after struggling for fitness due to a foot injury.

With Harry Kane out injured and Heung-Min Son having been away on international duty, Pochettino turned to Fernando Llorente to lead Spurs' attack.
