Spurs had initially been keen to bring Netherlands coach Louis Van Gaal on board, but reports recently have suggested that they have lost out to Manchester United as he has agreed a deal in principle to take over at Old Trafford after the World Cup this summer.
Pochettino has been at the forefront of the Londoners’ thoughts ever since they decided to replace Tim Sherwood at the end of the season despite awarding him an 18-month contract in December.
And the 42-year-old has been made aware that Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is keen to sit down with him and talk through the club’s plans with the hope of being able to persuade him to abandon the south coast club.
Levy is a fan of the Argentine’s style of play and wants to bring the excitement back to White Heart Lane after a disappointing season. Levy is also an admirer of the way Pochettino handles younger players and wants him to implement his strategies with the more youthful members of the side.
