According to The Sun, Mauricio Pochettino is set to make Tottenham’s Dele Alli his first signing as manager of Paris Saint-Germain.
The Argentine is in advanced talks with the Parisians following the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
It sounds like the former Southampton boss has his first target in sight, even before his role in the French capital has been officially announced.
Of course, it was Pochettino who signed Alli for Tottenham, handing MK Dons a sum of £5 million for the attacking midfielder.
The England international enjoyed the best spell of his career so far under the former Espanyol boss.
As Transfermarkt shows, Alli netted 55 goals and assisted 52 more under Pochettino’s guidance.
The 24-year-old playing at the Parc des Princes behind Kylian Mbappe and Neymar Jr, under Pochettino’s fast-paced style, is a mouthwatering prospect.
Even while Tuchel was still in charge, the BBC revealed that PSG were plotting another swoop for Alli in January, having failed with a move in the summer.
The BBC say that the Ligue 1 champions are set to make a loan bid for the Englishman, who has been frozen out by Jose Mourinho in north London.
Alli has started just one Premier League game this season, and also only two Europe League outings.
