Ange Postecoglou beleives Tottenham will be “playing with fire” if they do not bring in any new players this month after confirming that their record signing, Dominic Solanke, is likely to be out for six weeks with a knee injury.

Spurs face Leicester on Sunday having picked up only five points from their past 10 matches and have not won at home in the Premier League since the start of November. Languishing in 15th at this stage of the campaign would usually spell trouble for a Tottenham manager but Postecoglou is understood to have been given the opportunity to revive their fortunes by the chairman, Daniel Levy, having enjoyed some success in the cup competitions.
