    Mauricio Pochettino says Tottenham will announce a new signing in the next few days.

    Spurs have signed three defenders in Kieran Trippier, Toby Alderweireld and Kevin Wimmer so far this summer, but with Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor both expected to leave the club, Harry Kane is at risk of becoming their sole senior striker.

    “We have our target, I think in the next few days maybe something (will) happen,” said Pochettino, ahead of Tottenham’s trip to Old Trafford today.

    “No worries about that and the people won’t worry about the team because we have a lot of good players that can play like a striker.

    “We need to be (more) solid than last season because we scored a lot of goals but the problem was we conceded a lot of goals. If we are more solid maybe we can reduce the gap with the top four.”

    Pochettino continues to be linked with transfers for Stuttgart’s Timo Werner, QPR forward Charlie Austin and West Brom’s Saido Berahino.

    The latter’s chances of joining Spurs have increased with Albion ready to smash their transfer record for Zenit St Petersburg striker Salomon Rondon. They’ve reportedly agreed a £15million (Dh85m) fee for the Venezuela international.
