Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is worried about a lack of attacking options after the departure of Fernando Llorente.

The Daily Mail says Pochettino was keen on keeping Llorente for one more season but the 34-year-old rejected the offer of an extension to his contract because it included a wage reduction.

Spurs looked lethargic and lacking in ideas during their 1-0 home loss to Newcastle on Sunday, and Pochettino allegedly believes the lack of a target-man could cost Spurs dear in games in which they are unable to break down their opponents.

Tottenham made four signings over the summer, with Tanguy Ndombele, Ryan Sessegnon and Giovani Lo Celso coming in while Jack Clarke was acquired from Leeds but immediately loaned back to the Championship club for the season.
