Baldini under fresh pressure at Tottenham

Tottenham football chief Franco Baldini is again under pressure.

The Sunday Mirror says Baldini's future as Tottenham's technical director is under increasing scrutiny after the club failed to land a front-line striker during the transfer window.

Spurs were confident of signing Danny Welbeck on deadline-day morning, only for Arsenal to hijack the move and complete a £16million permanent deal with Manchester United for the England forward.

And while Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino is seen as an ally of Baldini - with the Italian having favoured the Argentinian to take over from Tim Sherwood - the head coach is believed to be less than happy with the club's summer business.
