Tottenham boss Pochettino unconvinced by squad quality

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino fears his squad is short of quality.

The London Evening Standard says Pochettino is starting to doubt whether his Tottenham squad is strong enough to realise his ambitions.

Although his job is safe after signing a five-year contract last summer, Pochettino is under scrutiny after watching his side slip to four defeats from their last five home games in the Premier League.

Pochettino is uncertain about the quality of players at his disposal. He would be willing to ship out Aaron Lennon, Kyle Naughton and Paulinho during the January transfer window to clear space in the squad for his own targets.

Andros Townsend, Mousa Dembele, Vlad Chiriches and Roberto Soldado are also among those players who Pochettino would be willing to sacrifice.
