Jose Mourinho has confirmed Tottenham Hotspur will be active in the transfer market.
The Portuguese admits the club will look at a 'balanced' approach, rather than spending big like their top-six rivals.
Asked about the challenge of taking on a Chelsea side who are still spending big to reinforce their squad, Mourinho said: "First of all, it's not something that is going to happen in every club.
"Every club is a club, every club has its own situation and philosophy and approach. I'm not expecting, of course, us to be in a position of great spending, I'm not expecting that.
"I'm expecting my club to be very balanced and very honest in that kind of approach.
"We know that we are going to be in the same league, in the same world, as clubs that are going to do completely different to us.
"You have now examples already of clubs investing and making important movements in the market and we are still nine matches away from the end of the season, but I think we are going always to be very balanced which is what Tottenham normally is."
He added: "Would I expect us not to do anything and to stay exactly with the same squad that we have in this moment? My answer is no.
"I expect us to do some little important things and if we do our little important things and we improve in two, three positions that we need to improve in the squad, I am completely open to the challenge, I am completely supportive to the board, to the owners and let's go for it.
"But in this moment I am not even thinking about that because I am focused on these nine matches."
