Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, has backed Jurgen
Klopp’s claim that some clubs in the Premier League, have bypassed financial
difficulties during the COVID-19 outbreak because they are owned by oligarchs
and countries.
Liverpool boss, Klopp, made the remarks after his side’s
transfer business this window was repeatedly compared to the big-spending
Chelsea and Manchester City.
Backed by owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea is close to a £250
million outlay in transfers so far, but Mourinho said Tottenham were run
differently just like Liverpool.
“The other day Jurgen was saying Liverpool wasn’t a club of
oligarchs and a club that belongs to countries,” Mourinho said in a press
conference on Friday.
“We are the same. So we are not the kind of club that can go
to the market and spend a fortune on players.
“We are all working
hard, I want to make it very, very clear, to get a good balance and that good
balance would be to get one more striker.”
Liverpool has made just one signing so far, while Tottenham
has spent a combined £30m on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Matt Doherty and Joe Hart.
