Pochettino insists he doesn't want to rip up Spurs squad

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists there's no plans to rip up his squad.

The Daily Mail says enquiries have been made for Michael Dawson, Kyle Naughton, Lewis Holtby, Vlad Chiriches, Nacer Chadli, Sandro and Roberto Soldado.

But Pochettino is not keen to make drastic changes to his squad.

He said: "I've been made aware of some reports claiming we are looking to sell half of our squad. We are fortunate to have a squad full of quality, as I have said on numerous occasions, and we are not expecting to see much movement before the end of the transfer window.

"We will loan out some of our younger players to help further their development. Several of our players are under 21 so we don't envisage a problem meeting the Premier League's squad limit of 25."
