Former Tottenham midfielder Danny Murphy says they must go on a spending spree.

Tottenham will need several new signings if they fail to keep hold of Toby Alderweireld, Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen past the current season, according to Murphy.

Mauricio Pochettino is under pressure to perform after the damaging 7-2 defeat at the hands of Bayern Munich during the week, which won't help their cause in offering out new contracts.

Murphy told Sporting Bet: If Tottenham lose Eriksen, Alderweireld and Vertonghen next season, then they're five or six players off being genuine title contenders.

They'll have to spend a hell of a lot of money to replace those three players, which will only make them as good as they were."
