Mauricio Pochettino does not expect Tottenham to make any January signings

Mauricio Pochettino conceded that Tottenham are unlikely to make any January acquisitions after running amok in the FA Cup at Tranmere.

What could have been a tricky trip to a sold-out Prenton Park ended in the most comprehensive of away wins thanks to a devastating second-half display by Spurs.

Serge Aurier added to his first-half goal before Fernando Llorente completed a hat-trick and his replacement Harry Kane wrapped up a 7-0 victory against the League Two side, with Son Heung-min scoring the visitors' other goal.

It was an impressive performance ahead of the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg against Chelsea and Premier League clash with Manchester United, but fighting on four fronts is unlikely to mean new faces at the north London club.

"Difficult," Pochettino said of signings. "I don't believe that we are going to do anything.

"I'm so happy with my squad. Always you can improve, different things you can or not."

"It's important for him to score and have 20 minutes playing football," the Spurs boss said. "I think it was important for him and for the team an important victory and to get to the next stage of the FA Cup.

"It was an important fixture for the club. To be in four competitions is an important thing."

Pushed on whether the move to bring on Kane showed ruthlessness, Pochettino added: "It was respect.

"Respect the people, respect the opponent. They're not going to have many chances to see Harry Kane play here in a competition like the FA Cup.

Congratulations to @HKane for a well taken goal to join me on 159 goals. Couldn't be prouder to share this with a great player and a lovely lad. #COYS
