Mourinho wants striker to complete Tottenham 'puzzle'

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho hopes his team can sign a striker in the transfer window.

Spurs have added Gareth Bale on loan and Sergio Reguilon permanently in recent days.

The winger and left-back will add a lot of competition for places to the team. But Mourinho still wants a backup striker for Harry Kane.

He told reporters: "Yes [I want a striker].

"For a season like this we need a good squad and we need two players for each position. So there you go.

"Gareth, when fit and in condition, is one of the top players in Europe, and Sergio was amazing last season in Sevilla.

"So if you ask me if I'm happy to have these players I have to say yes I am but there are other things that make a team and make a squad. A squad is a puzzle, a squad is a puzzle and in this moment our squad is not a puzzle and that's a problem that we have to understand."
