Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has described clubs who spend huge transfer fees on players as "desperate".
The North London outfit has signed two individuals ahead of the 2016-17 season - midfielder Victor Wanyama and forward Vincent Janssen - for a combined £28m.
Other clubs in the Premier League, such as Manchester United and Manchester City, have spent approximately £300m between them on multiple players this summer, including a world-record £89m for Paul Pogba.
"That shows when you spend a lot of money it is because you are not happy with your squad or your players and you are desperate to improve your squad," Pochettino told reporters at a press conference.
"I am very happy with my players, I think it is very difficult to find better players than we have."
Spurs begin their season away at Everton on Saturday.
