Despite the transfer window being closed until the summer, Tottenham manager Juande Ramos is already plotting an overhaul of his playing staff, writes Iain Liddle.
The Spanish coach and has revealed he will be casting his net far and wide when it comes to recruiting re-inforcements.
The former Sevilla boss has made an instant impression at White Hart Lane by winning the Carling Cup and is looking at players from all over the continent to help the team move on to the next level.
In a break with the club's recent tradition of signing promising, young English talent, Ramos has recently been linked with Espanyol trio Carlos Kameni, Dani Jarque and Albert Riera and insists talent is the only factor he considers when looking at prospective purchases.
Ramos said: "When I look at players I don't look at where they are born. There are good players and bad players in Spain, Italy and France. It's a case of my desire is to make the squad competitive.
"It doesn't matter where the players come from, it's just about getting the right players for the squad."
