According to the Daily Mail, Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino is now frustrated with Daniel Levy due to his stance over Dele Alli.

Pochettino wanted a PSG reunion with playmaker Alli, and the move had been given the green light by Jose Mourinho.

However, it was Levy who kiboshed the move, denying Alli a deadline day move to France because Spurs couldn’t find a replacement.

Pochettino is disappointed that Levy didn’t sanction a move, with Alli’s future now unclear as he faces months on the sidelines.

Alli has started just one Premier League game this season and often doesn’t even make the squad, with Mourinho seemingly not a fan.

Spurs did think about re-signing Christian Eriksen on loan from Inter Milan to replace Alli, but with that deal not materialising, Alli wasn’t allowed to go.

Levy and Pochettino had a close relationship at Spurs, and seemingly went their separate ways on good terms despite Pochettino’s emotional departure from Tottenham in 2019.

This situation over Alli may have caused something of an issue between the pair, though don’t be surprised to see PSG and Pochettino make another attempt this summer.
