Pochettino criticizes previous transfer deadline: “Big mistake”

“Something like that can create real chaos in a club like ours,” said the Argentine: “That’s a big mistake. We're opening the door for clubs in Europe to wreak havoc here. The Premier League cannot give this advantage to European clubs, we are in competition with them.”

In order to ensure that the betting has been completed before the start of the league, the Premier League's “deadline day” for new signings in the two top English leagues was already on Thursday. However, moving from the islands abroad is still possible: the main competitors from Germany, Spain, Italy and France are allowed to shop until September 2nd and thus also advertise for stars in England.

“There are rumors, talk. And we can’t waste our time on that,” said Pochettino, who still has to worry about the whereabouts of his stars like Christian Eriksen, who is courted by Real Madrid, for another three weeks. If the Dane were to leave, Spurs would not be able to improve until winter.

Moura extended Meanwhile, Tottenham have rewarded attacker Lucas Moura with a contract extension for his strong performances in the last premier league season. The Spurs extended the 2023-year-old's contract, which runs until 26, by one year until 2024.

Lucas played a major role in coach Mauricio Pochettino's team reaching the final of the Champions League last season. In the semi-final second leg against Ajax Amsterdam, he almost single-handedly turned the game in favor of the Londoners with a hat-trick. In the league, the Brazilian, who has been wearing the Spurs jersey since January 2018, scored ten goals in 32 appearances last season.
