Could Daniel Levy be about to loosen Tottenham's purse strings?
According to the Mirror, Tottenham is set for a spending spree to ensure manager Mauricio Pochettino does not quit.
Pochettino has been linked to Juventus and Manchester United, and the Argentinian is in a strong position after leading Spurs to its first Champions League final – without signing a player in 2018-19.
TOP STORY – SPURS TO SPLASH THE CASH
Show me the money is the message from Pochettino, and chairman Levy is set to listen.
Tottenham has already reportedly had bids rejected for Real Betis star Giovani Lo Celso and in-demand Lyon midfielder Tanguy Ndombele .
After two consecutive windows without spending anything, Spurs is also eyeing Fulham sensation Ryan Sessegnon and Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez , according to reports.
With the new stadium built and finally occupied, Pochettino may now have a substantial transfer kitty to preserve Tottenham's position in the Premier League top four.
