Mauricio Pochettino Set To Raid Former Club Tottenham Once Appointed As PSG Manager

Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly set to raid his former club Tottenham for Hugo Lloris and Dele Alli once appointed as Paris Saint-Germain manager.

Pochettino will become the new PSG boss following the ruthless sacking of Thomas Tuchel on Christmas Eve.

And the 48-year-old plans to return to his old team for reinforcements with the transfer window reopening on January 2.

According to Eurosport, he's eyeing goalkeeper Lloris and out-of-favour midfielder Alli, who has been the subject of intense transfer speculation since the start of the new season.

The England international, 24, continues to be linked with a move away from London with Everton and Rangers apparently interested in taking him on loan.

PSG have kept tabs on Alli for months and Pochettino could pounce when he's announced as the club's new manager.

The Argentine is also looking at Lloris whose been at Spurs since 2012.

Jose Mourinho, though, is unlikely to listen to offers for the Frenchman who's the club's No.1 and captain.

The reports also claims Serge Aurier and Harry Winks could also 'crop up at some stage' as transfer targets.

Former Spurs star Christian Eriksen, who played under 'Poch', has also been touted as a potential signing for PSG.

The Dane is up for sale with Inter Milan prepared to offload him in January.

PSG will likely add new talent in January but Pochettino's major signings will take place during the summer transfer window.
