Mauricio Pochettino has underlined the difference between Tottenham Hotspur and their rivals in the transfer market.
The Argentine used the example of Kyle Walker-Peters, who came against former Spurs fullback Kyle Walker during Saturday's 2-2 draw with Manchester City, to demonstrate the club's transfer policy.
"I don't like to complain but when Kyle Walker was at Tottenham and we sold him to City for 55 million two years ago, Kyle Walker-Peters was a kid," Pochettino said. "Now we've sold Kieran Trippier and Kyle Walker-Peters is playing.
"Maybe he was the fourth, fifth option when Kyle Walker was here so I think it's important people realise we're building players and that they're still young.
"So it's a process that is completely different when you compare it to Manchester City, to Manchester United or Arsenal, Chelsea, teams like this. They are preparing themselves to win.
"We are playing to try to win but we have different resources to fight in the same race with teams that operate in a completely different way.
"We're in a process where every season is: rebuild the team. I am so happy because that makes us stronger and be creative. But of course it's tough."
