JOSE MOURINHO says he is not desperate to land a striker at all costs and is eager to remain “loyal” to Tottenham’s current players.
Milan forward Krzysztof Piatek, Porto’s Ze Luis and former Spurs striker Fernando Llorente have all been linked with January moves to the club after a serious hamstring injury to Harry Kane.
Tottenham drew 0-0 at Watford on Saturday and Mourinho felt they would likely have won the match with Kane or another top striker on the pitch.
But the Spurs boss also vowed not to panic in the transfer market, a calm stance he also adopted when a fire alarm disrupted his post-match media conference and he continued to speak throughout.
“If it’s possible yes, if it’s not possible no,” Mourinho said about signing a striker in the transfer window after his side’s fourth straight Premier League game without a win.
“We all know, we all want the best for the team, the best for the club. That is obvious.
“We have to be calm, be loyal to these boys, respecting everything they are trying to do. If it happens it happens, if it doesn’t happen it doesn’t happen. But good feelings, not a good result but good feelings with the boys.”
As well as Kane, Tottenham are without Moussa Sissoko, Tanguy Ndombele and captain Hugo Lloris.
