Spurs boss Mourinho has seen key players Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Hugo Lloris and Moussa Sissoko all been hit with injuries this season.
Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has revealed that he is looking forward to a "more balanced" squad next season.
The Portuguese, who replaced Mauricio Pochettino at Spurs in November, has not been pleased with how his side‘s performance have been affected by injuries to the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Hugo Lloris and Moussa Sissoko this season.
Speaking ahead of Tottenham’s Premier League clash against Burnley on Saturday, Mourinho gave a hint of what he hopes to achieve when the transfer window opens this summer.
"I know the priority," he said when quizzed about prioritising the Premier League or Champions League this season.
“I discuss with the chairman [Daniel Levy], I am not saying every day, because some days he has other things to do with the club and stays in the stadium offices, but even in these days we are on the phone.
"I do not need a specific day to have a specific discussion with the boss and with Steve [Hitchen, Spurs' chief scout]. We are together every day. I don't need to have a discussion, we just need to share normally our ideas and we feel the same.
"We know that the players are tired, that the players injured, we know that we have to build a squad more balanced for next season because we don’t believe that the same situation is going to happen. But in football anything is possible and you have to be ready to cope with these unpredictable things.
"We know that we have to build a squad more balanced for next season because we don't believe that the same situation is going to happen but in football anything is possible and you have to be ready to cope with these unpredictable things. So we know everything.
"We need to give a different shape to the squad to be ready for these unexpected things that happen to us but we all know that we have to try to win tomorrow and we have to try to win on Tuesday.
"If we don't then we leave, like we did in the last match against Norwich, we leave, we sleep, in peace, sad, but we sleep in peace and then the next day, [smacks his hands] here we go again."
Tottenham Hotspur sit seventh spot and are five points adrift of the final Champions League position in the Premier League.
