Mourinho admits Spurs must be clever in summer market

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho admits they'll have to be clever in the summer market.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's visit to Newcastle, the Spurs boss said he had "an idea" of what the club needs in the summer but warned it would be a "strange" transfer window.

The stadium lockouts has had a devastating impact on clubs' finances and drastically altered the football economy, with even the Premier League's so-called “big six" preparing to be thrifty.

Mourinho said: "We are much more focused on now than what is next. But of course I have an idea [of what the club needs].

“Of course, we share our ideas. When I say 'we', I say myself and the [club's] structure including obviously the boss, [chairman Daniel Levy].

"So we know what we want. But at the same time we can all expect a strange summer. I believe that it will be a bit strange in the sense of a different transfer window than in previous seasons.

“But at the moment I don't think it is about anyone fighting for his future. It is about everyone fighting for the points we need to finish the season the best that we can."
