According to the Daily Mail, Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino could be one of the leading forces in riving a rule change in the Premier League.

The Mail claim that at a recent meeting between Premier League managers Tottenham boss Pochettino was vocal in voicing his displeasure at the early closure of the transfer window.

Pochettino was backed up by Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola and Liverpool’s Jurgen Klopp.

There is now said to be a belief that if the high profile trio keep pushing for the rule to be changed then the Premier League will opt to move the deadline back to the end of the month again.

Spurs could risk losing Christian Eriksen for a cheaper fee than first considered, as they are now in a weak position in the negotiations.
