Mauricio Pochettino has reiterated he does not control Tottenham's transfers and suggested his job title at the club should change.
Pochettino, who led Spurs to the Champions League final last season, was first-team coach for his first two years at the club but when he signed a new deal in 2016 his role changed to manager, which typically includes involvement in transfer business.
He has regularly shown signs of frustration at Tottenham's activity in the market, over which chairman Daniel Levy has the final say.
