It's now been a year since Tottenham Hotspur last signed a player.
Spurs signed Brazilian international, Lucas Moura, from Paris St Germain for £24 million on January 31st 2018.
They have had to cut back on spending because they're currently building a new stadium.
However, over two transfer windows, Tottenham are the only Premier League team to not bring in a player.
