Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has revealed his plans ahead of the January transfer window.

The Argentine insists that his priority remains to find a backup striker for Harry Kane and refuses to deny his interest in long-time target Saido Berahino.

Spurs will travel to West Bromwich Albion this weekend, and when asked about the interest in Berahino, Pochettino said: "I'm very happy with my squad but always in every position you can improve. We never speak in public about another club's player. We need to show respect. But of course we are interested in different players – that is our job.

"I recognise they other than Harry Kane we do not have a specific striker. So maybe we work to try to find such a player we can add in the next transfer window or in the summer to try to help the team.

"We are trying to follow players now, but it is very difficult. What is most important is that we do not rock the balance of the team. It is important we find someone who is very specific.

"You know, for me, always you want that you find a striker that scores a lot of goals and who has good physical condition, good characteristics, can press, work hard and a nice guy, too."
