Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho insists he has great belief in the squad he's inherited.

Tottenham did reach the Champions League final last season and Mourinho believes that that squad paired with the investment made means his current crop is more than capable of challenging for the top prizes.

"I am optimistic because I start working from day one. Because I believe we are going to make some changes in our squad, and for that we don't need a huge investment like the club made in the past summer.

"I cannot believe that the season is going to be so full of negative episodes like we've had since practically day one.

"There are many reasons to believe that it is going to be different."
