Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has warned fans not to expect anything 'magical' from the January market.

Spurs have been hit by several major injuries in recent weeks.

"We are where we are. Nothing magical's going to happen in the January window. What we need to do is just keep building," Postecoglou said ahead of the visit of Bournemouth on New Year's Eve.

"We've had one window with this team to change it around, to do things differently. The fact that we're in the position we are is a credit to the players. For all the challenges we've had, we just kept planning forward and that's what we'll do.

"We'll see what we can do in January but ultimately it's about building a side that will get us to where we want to."

He continued: "I don't think you need to go through injuries to see [which players have a long-term future here]," he said. "What it has done is test the limits of our ability to play the football that we want within the context of the injuries we've had. It would be unfair to judge some players…

"The way we play takes a fairly hefty physical toll, more than the way other clubs play. For us to sustain and maintain that and be a team, it's no secret we need a strong squad.

"We're nowhere near that at the moment, understandably so, obviously we've only had one window. It was never going to happen [in one window].

"We're still at the beginning. Within that context, we want to compete. We've got ourselves in a position where we can compete. That's what we need to keep pushing forward for."
