Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou has said the club will show "urgency" in the transfer market in the final days of the January window following his side's disappointing defeat at Everton.
Spurs have been depleted by a number of long-term injuries in recent weeks, with first-choice defenders Destiny Udogie, Micky van de Ven, and Cristian Romero all out with hamstring injuries, as well as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario out with a fractured ankle.
"There will be urgency but it doesn't need me to say it, everybody can see that," Postecoglou told Sky Sports.
"I have no issues with how the club are going about it, they are working hard and trying to find solutions. These players need help that is for sure and hopefully over the next 10 days or so we'll find a solution. It is really tricky, we're not the only ones in the market. The club are trying hard."
Spurs' issues were rarely most stark than in the first-half against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday, during which they conceded three goals and never fully recovered.
Postecoglou, who has been under-fire at times this season for his aggressive tactical approach, said he has not lost faith in his squad.
"No it [faith] doesn't [waiver]. If you look at the situation we're in, it will eventually dissipate," he added. "I certainly hope and believe it will.
"We'll give ourselves the opportunity to get consistency in performance and results. I certainly haven't lost belief or determination to turn it around and the players showed in the second half that they haven't either."
Spurs return to action on Thursday when they take on Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the Europa League league phase.
