Tottenham manager Pochettino insists he club can attract star names in the January transfer window - not just promising youngsters.
Pochettino's revamping of the Spurs squad has been driven by a strong faith in youth, with the likes of Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Dele Alli all thriving under the Argentinian.
Alli admitted the opportunities for young players was a key factor in his decision to move to White Hart Lane and the club continued that trend with five players selected in the latest England squad.
Pochettino is proud of Tottenham's reputation for promoting youth but believes his team's progress means they can also lure proven quality as well as up and coming talent.
"We only have a few places left. It is impossible to bring 20 or 30 players in," Pochettino said.
"But today Tottenham is a very attractive club, not only for youngsters but all players.
"The way we respect the players, the way we try to play - for the big players and the young players it is a fantastic club.
"Tottenham today is one of the most attractive clubs in the world for all players, not just young players. We are starting to be attractive.
"Tottenham are a name at home and in Europe and now we need to be clever to improve."
