Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp knows he needs two quality signings in order for Spurs to continue their challenge for a top four finish and Champions League qualification next season. A 2-0 win at Liverpool on Sunday makes them favourites for the final Europa League place but that is little consolation after a Champions League campaign this season.
"There are six teams (challenging) for that top four," he said.
"Manchester United are certainties, Chelsea are certainties and you have to fancy Man City next year as they are going to spend another £100million.
"You also have to fancy Arsenal, because they have been there every year, and Liverpool are a great club with great tradition and they will be back stronger with Kenny (Dalglish) next year.
"We could have improved (the squad) in January. It wasn't a case of spending, we just needed a little tweak to liven us up a bit because we had a few tired players around.
"We then lost key players: (Gareth) Bale was flying at the time and winning games for us but we weren't scoring while Rafa (van der Vaart), who had been looking like a £50million player all season, tired in the last six or seven weeks and that was important for us.
"Hopefully we can get one or two players in the summer and improve again for next year because it is going to be hard.
"We have a big squad but what we need is one or two players who will make the difference to us.
"Liverpool have done that with Luis Suarez, he is going to be a big player, and we need to find one or two to keep us pushing for the top four."
