Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino said it is possible the club could not make any signings as Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce said Spurs have not made an offer for Jack Grealish.
Spurs, who have yet to add to their squad with the window closing at 5 p.m. on Aug. 9, are hopeful of signing Grealish, the England youth international.
"We are working so hard but still, we are like we were on the first day of the transfer window, with no signings," Pochettino said. "I think I'm not the person to explain this. Of course people expect the manager to explain it.
