We know very well that the market is so difficult and the circumstances we are experiencing.
"If we identify the player who can add qualities that we do not have in the team, we are more than willing to try [to make] it happens. But for now, I think there are not too many possibilities to add this type of player.
"Harry is very positive," added Pochettino, speaking on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of his arrival in English football with Southampton. "It's always an easy thing with Harry because he's a very positive person, and as soon as he got hurt, he started thinking about his recovery as soon as possible.
"But of course he'll be an important player for a while, he's one of the best strikers or players in Europe and the world and that will always affect the performance, but we think and we are the same. so, positive, that we can cope with the situation and that we have enough players to cover this place and that this obviously will not change our approach in the different games we will play without him. "
The Spurs have been discussing the possibility of trying to recruit Barcelona winger Malcolm this month, although they are pessimistic about the chances of doing business with the giants of La Liga, but Pochettino said the free agent Giuseppe Rossi, who trains at Manchester United, was not a transfer target.
"This is another name to add to the list [of rumours] but it's only a rumor, "said Argentina. We do not envision it. It's a rumor like any other, but if you ask me, I think no, it's not a possibility. "

"In football, you have two options: crying or seeing the possibility for another player to play and play a bigger role, as well as the opportunity to play in a different way," said Pochettino. "I am the person who chooses the second option, the possibility for another player to play and provide to the team and to be consistent and solid and to try to win.
"It's a big challenge. To me, rather than sitting in my chair and crying, is finding another way to challenge yourself, to be consistent and to maintain the same level of performance.
"Mousa is a player and we will miss him," added Pochettino. "You know very well what I feel for him, he was one of the greatest players I have met in my career, of course I wish him the best, his wish was to move in China, his dream has come true now, a pleasure to share with him an incredible time here in Tottenham.
