Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has said he expects plenty of activity in the transfer market following the club's 5-1 win over Hearts in their pre-season opener on Wednesday evening.
Spurs will be looking to strengthen their squad in the summer after missing out on Aston Villa in the Champions League last season.
The north London club have already signed talented youngster Archie Gray, while Timo Werner's loan has been extended, and young midfielder Lucas Bergvall has also arrived.
Postecoglou expects more transfer work
The club got their pre-season preparations off to a flying start by beating ScottishHearts 5-1 as Postecoglou fielded a strong squad with Son Heung-min, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson and new signing Archie Gray all starting.
There is no doubt that Spurs need to add more reinforcements if they are to stand a chance of returning to the Champions League next season, and are believed to be in the market for a striker with Jonathan David and Ivan Toney linked with moves.
Postecoglou, when asked after the game about the players for sale, said he has no doubts that more will be added before the window closes.
“As I said, nothing has really changed, I am free,” he told reporters.
“We have a plan for what we want to do.
“I'm very happy with the two boys we've brought in, they're both obviously talented but more importantly they're ambitious.
“They didn't come to relax, they want to play and I think that's good.
“They have brought a good boost to the team and there is no doubt that a few more will be added but I am comfortable with where we are.”
Spurs are also looking to sell a number of players before the window closes and the club are said to be open to offers for the likes of Richarlison and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, while a move for Chelsea's Conor Gallagher remains a possibility.
