Mourinho backs Klopp for criticizing Chelsea’s summer spending
Tottenham Hotspur manager, Jose Mourinho, has backed Jurgen Klopp’s claim that some clubs in the Premier League, have bypassed financial difficulties during the COVID-19 outbreak because they are owned by oligarchs and countries..
Liverpool boss, Klopp, made the remarks after his side’s transfer business this window was repeatedly compared to the big-spending Chelsea and Manchester City.
Backed by owner Roman Abramovich, Chelsea is close to a £250 million outlay in transfers so far, but Mourinho said Tottenham were run differently just like Liverpool.
“The other day Jurgen was saying Liverpool wasn’t a club of oligarchs and a club that belongs to countries,” Mourinho said in a press conference on Friday.
“We are the same. So we are not the kind of club that can go to the market and spend a fortune on players.
“We are all working hard, I want to make it very, very clear, to get a good balance and that good balance would be to get one more striker.”
Liverpool has made just one signing so far, while Tottenham has spent a combined £30m on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Matt Doherty and Joe Hart
