(Reuters) - Closing the Premier League transfer window before the season begins was a "massive mistake" as key players can still be prised away by other European clubs before their window shuts next month, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has said.

The Premier League window for incoming transfers closed on Aug. 8, a day before the season began, but players are still allowed to move to other major leagues -- including Spain, Germany and Italy -- until the European window shuts on Sept. 2.
