Mauricio Pochettino: 'Tottenham Hotspur need to take risks'

Pochettino: 'Tottenham need to take risks'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino hopes to persuade chairman Daniel Levy to spend big in the summer and turn the Lilywhites into a title-winning force.

Mauricio Pochettino has revealed that he intends to hold talks with chairman Daniel Levy next week and outline his plans to take Tottenham Hotspur forward.

The Lilywhites finished the 2017-18 campaign sitting third in the Premier League, having also reached the knockout stage of the Champions League and last four of the FA Cup.

Spurs boss Pochettino is happy with what he has achieved during his four years in North London, but has suggested that now is the time to take a gamble in the transfer window in order to become a title-winning force.

"We need to talk a lot between us and the club. I think I have a very clear idea of what we need to do," he told reporters following the 5-4 win over Leicester City on the final day of the season. "I don't know if the club will agree with me or not, but we are going to talk next week to create what I think we need to do together again, to try to improve.

"That is a little bit up to Daniel and the club, of course, to agree with us because, after four years, I think we need to assess that period if we want to compete for big, big trophies. I think all that we achieved until today is fantastic but it will be so important to create again.

"The club's ambition is always to win but it is not easy to find the way. I think it is so important that we are going to move to the new stadium, but not only that is going to make us close to winning. I think they're going to listen to me, of course, but sometimes I have some crazy ideas.

"But you need to be brave in this kind of situation, in our club with our unbelievable fans, and take risks. I think it's a moment for the club to take risks and try to be competitive. I am sure Daniel is going to listen to me and of course we can create together to help the team to move on."

Sunday's game was Tottenham's last at Wembley Stadium before moving to their new 61,000-capacity ground in September.
