# Interesting update provided by journalist over recent Tottenham transfer reports

**It’s been a slow summer for the Tottenham Hotspur fans in the Transfer Tavern, who’ve yet to see Mauricio Pochettino make any additions to a squad that finished second in the league last term.**

Many of our north London locals would agree that Spurs don’t need a raft of new additions, though a few clever tweaks to the playing staff here and there would certainly be a welcome sight. Still, they need to be the right kind of players to fit into the Argentine’s unique set-up.

With that in mind, comments from the [Daily Mirror’s Darren Lewis](https://twitter.com/MirrorDarren/status/888406564679278596) have proved interesting. He’s revealed that those from Hotspur Way aren’t keen on a move for Leicester City attacker Riyad Mahrez, despite [links](https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-are-monitoring-riyad-mahrez-s-situation-but-leicester-city-will-have-to-lower-50m-a3592216.html) with the player.

The Algerian, who helped lead the Foxes to the Premier League title in 2015/16, has been touted as a potential target at White Hart Lane Wembley, though Lewis [claims](https://twitter.com/MirrorDarren/status/888406564679278596) the player has never been in Spurs’ sights.

While he endured a disappointing campaign last time out, few would doubt Mahrez’s supreme quality and his match-winning ability would be a welcome sight, if you asked our resident Tottenham supporters.

Still, in Pochettino they trust.

**Thoughts?**
