    The Argentine turned Spurs into a top side during his five-year stint at the helm.
    After his arrival from Southampton in 2014 he made them top four contenders and led them to the 2019 Champions League Final.
    However, the 49-year-old was sacked just a few months after the final defeat to Liverpool due to a poor run of results before joining PSG last January.
    The former Espanyol manager was replaced at Tottenham by Jose Mourinho, who was also sacked in April.
    SunSport exclusively revealed Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is now considering bringing Pochettino back and talks are reportedly ongoing.

    However, PSG want to hold on to their manager even though he lost the Ligue 1 title to shock winners Lille.
    The Parisians still believe in Pochettino, who won the French Cup in his maiden season, and don’t want to offload another top coach after Thomas Tuchel.
    But the Argentine has reportedly found coaching at PSG “more of a headache than expected”.

    The talented boss and his staff felt at home in London but have yet to settle in Paris with most of their time spent in hotels.
    Pochettino is also concerned with the power structure at the club as he feels it doesn’t allow him much influence.
    The manager and his staff are reportedly feeling like there is unfinished business at Tottenham and their contract, which runs out next year, is not considered too tough to get out of.

    Tottenham announce Danny Rose and Paulo Gazzaniga are being released at end of season and available on free transfers

    TOTTENHAM have confirmed that Danny Rose and Paulo Gazzaniga will leave the club when their contracts run out in the summer.The two players’ deals expires on June 30 and they will be available on a free once the summer transfer window opens.

    The club shared the following announcement on Twitter: “The club can confirm the departures of Danny Rose and Paulo Gazzaniga following the conclusion of their contracts.
    “We thank Danny and Paulo for their service and wish them well for the future.”
    Rose returned to north London last year following a short loan stint at Newcastle where he only managed 13 appearances for Steve Bruce’s side.
    Former Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho then omitted the left-back from the season’s Premier League and Europa League squads, meaning he didn’t play at all for the senior team.
    The 30-year-old joined Spurs in 2007 from Leeds and went through various different loan stints at Watford, Peterborough United, Bristol City and Sunderland.

    The ex-England international found his groove in 2013 when he established himself in Spurs’ starting line-up.
    Rose went on to amass a total of 10 goals and 29 assists in 214 appearances across all competitions.
    However, the defender grew frustrated with a lack of playing time upon Mourinho’s arrival in 2019 and expressed his concerns to the Portuguese manager, as shown in Amazon’s recent All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur documentary.

    That led to his temporary move to St James’ Park before his omission from the incoming Roma boss, who has since been replaced by Rose’s former team-mate Ryan Mason on an interim basis.
    Gazzaniga joined Tottenham from Southampton in 2017 as a reserve keeper to Hugo Lloris.
    The Argentina international only managed 37 appearances, picking up 10 clean sheets in the process.
    The 29-year-old spent this season on loan at Elche where he also failed to stand out with only eight appearances for Fran Escriba’s side.

    Rumours have already emerged of United considering sending Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial to North London to cut down the reported £150million price tag.
    And former defender Neville has named Daniel James as another potential makeweight that could push through a deal, adding that the club’s fringe talent gives them an edge over City in the race for Kane.
    The 46-year-old told Sky Sports: “It’s difficult.
    “City don’t tend to break their budget, do they? [Their record is] £65m-£70m – they’re not going to get him for that.
    “So it’s whether they could get a player to Tottenham that would makeweight the deal.
    “And I think that’s what United maybe have in Martial, James and Lingard.

    “They’re types of players you could send [to Spurs] plus a chunk of money and it might make Daniel Levy happy.”
    Neville spoke to Kane for an in-depth interview that was released last week, where the England star spoke openly about his future.
    However the pundit was not convinced that he would push hard for a move and would ‘not be surprised’ if Kane stayed at Tottenham.
    Neville continued: “In that interview with me he never said he wanted to leave Tottenham or he was going to leave Tottenham.

    “I don’t know what part of the interview people think he said that.
    “He said there was a conversation to be had and if the chairman wants to accept a bid for him. He never said he wanted to leave.
    “I think he’s obviously at a point in his career where it’s a reflection point. It’s the same for Tottenham as well I would think.”

    It is thought Kane would prefer a move to the Etihad and the opportunity to work with playmaker De Bruyne appears to be a tempting one.
    During an episode of The Overlap, the striker was asked by Gary Neville who he dreams of playing in front of.
    Kane didn’t hesitate and replied: “De Bruyne for sure.
    “When I watch De Bruyne play… he’s a special, special player.
    “And some of the balls I see him put in for City are just a striker’s dream if I’m honest.
    “You see it year in year out, he’s an outstanding player.
    “With the ball, off the ball, pressing. But his delivery is as good as I’ve ever seen.”

    SunSport revealed this week that City and United are formulating an £80million, five-year contract offer to persuade Kane to join.
    The England star is expected to cost north of £120m in terms of a transfer fee, despite his warning to chairman Daniel Levy that the club will never make as much money through a sale as they will now.
    He said earlier in the interview: “I don’t know, I mean [Levy] might want to sell me.
    “He might be thinking, ‘If I could get £100m for you, then why not?’.
    “I’m not going to be worth that for the next two or three years.”

    Nevertheless, United and Chelsea in particular are said to be weighing up players-plus-cash deals to get the transfer over the line.
    The Red Devils have reportedly eyed Jesse Lingard or Anthony Martial to potentially head to North London.
    And Thomas Tuchel could dangle outcasts Tammy Abraham and Kepa Arrizabalaga in Spurs’ direction – or even Callum Hudson-Odoi.

    Chelsea ‘willing to offer Tammy Abraham and Kepa in ambitious swap transfer for Harry Kane’ as Man Utd and City circle

    TOTTENHAM could be offered Kepa Arrizabalaga or Tammy Abraham in Chelsea’s bid to sign Harry Kane.The Blues are in the mix to snap up the striker, 27, after he told Spurs of his desire to leave at the end of the season.

    Manchester clubs United and City were revealed by SunSport this week to be preparing an £80million, five-year contract offer for the player.
    But a huge transfer fee will also be required, potentially up to £150m, as Spurs seek to hold onto their star forward.
    Therefore several reports of part-exchange deals have emerged with United said to be willing to let Anthony Martial or Jesse Lingard sign for Tottenham to reduce the cash payment.
    According to ESPN, Chelsea are also considering this route with a number of fringe players eyed for a swap.
    Record signing Kepa is one such player having failed to cement his place as the Blues’ goalkeeper – while Spurs have been tipped to let Hugo Lloris go.
    Callum Hudson-Odoi and Abraham are reportedly part of the discussion as Stamford Bridge bosses weigh up their summer plans.
    Thomas Tuchel is set to be given £150m to turn Chelsea back into a Premier League title winning force.
    Erling Haaland had been linked with the attack and central defence eyed for improvement.

    But the opportunity to send academy graduate Abraham, 23, to North London in the Kane deal is reportedly tempting.
    The striker has not scored a league goal in 2021 and was hauled off at half-time of both his league starts since Tuchel’s arrival.
    However, Tottenham are described as reluctant to sell anyone to their London rivals given the standoffish relationship between the clubs.
    Roman Abramovich has refused to let Chelsea players sign for their London rivals, with Carlton Cole revealing he once blocked him from making the switch.

    Serge Aurier nearing PSG transfer return as talks between Tottenham star’s entourage and old club ‘accelerate’

    TOTTENHAM star Serge Aurier is reportedly in talks with old club Paris Saint-Germain over a return.The Ivory Coast international has been in and out of the Spurs side this season, and could be set for a link up with his old boss Mauricio Pochettino.
    Tottenham star Serge Aurier is reportedly a transfer target for PSGCredit: Getty
    Foot Mercato is reporting that talks between the player and his team and PSG are ‘accelerating’.
    Aurier is likely to cost around £10million, with PSG technical director Leonardo seemingly keen for the move to happen.
    Reports are that Aurier will be offered a four-year contract and while Spurs supremo Daniel Levy has not received a firm offer, ‘talks between the two clubs have taken off’.
    And importantly, Pochettino is also ‘favourable’ to Aurier joining his side next season.
    Aurier left PSG for Spurs in 2017 in a £22.5m deal.
    But the 28-year-old has never looked like cementing the right-back position as his own.
    Pochettino currently has just one reliable right-back option at PSG in Roma loanee Alessandro Florenzi.
    The player himself is apparently eager to return as he feels he has unfinished business in the French capital.

    And according to reports, Spanish giants Real Madrid are considering their own shock move for Aurier.
    According to AS, Los Blancos are on the hunt to bolster their options at right-back and have made an enquiry over his availability.
    Dani Carvajal has suffered injury woes this season while Lucas Vazquez is expected to depart when his contract expires next month.
    Therefore Aurier could be a suitable option.
