- Story Text: Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino told reporters in Hong Kong on Tuesday (May 23) that his side would need to add some quality signings over the summer in order to make the "massive" step to a Premier League title.
Pochettino took over in 2014 and has led the London side to a top-three finish in two of the last three seasons but has yet to win a trophy. They finished the 2016/17 Premier League campaign in second position, seven points behind champions Chelsea.
The Argentine made the comments ahead of Spurs' post season friendly match with recently crowned Hong Kong champions Kitchee SC.
The game, to be played at Hong Kong Stadium on May 26, will be part of the 20th anniversary celebrations of the return of the former British colony to Chinese rule. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
