Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Barcelona-owned Philippe Coutinho.
It has been reported that Tottenham wanted to sign Coutinho from Barcelona in the summer of 2019.
The report has added that Spurs manager Daniel Levy was keen on making the transfer happen and was ready to pay the cash needed.
However, according to the report, Pochettino – then in charge of Tottenham – was not interested in the 27-year-old and the signing of Coutinho did not appeal to him, as he was already an established player rather than a youngster who could be moulded into a superstar.
