Some Tottenham fans expect Paris Saint-Germain to try and snap up Dele Alli in the January transfer window if Mauricio Pochettino ends up becoming their manager.
PSG have confirmed that they have parted ways with Thomas Tuchel and some reports suggested that Pochettino is likely to replace him at the helm.
The PSG job is one of several that the former Tottenham manager has been heavily linked with over the past couple of months (ESPN).
The Argentine has a connection with the Parisians, having served as the club’s captain during his playing days.
Meanwhile, reports have continued to link Alli, who has fallen down the pecking order at Spurs, with a loan move to the Ligue 1 giants next month.
Pochettino only recently discussed his admiration for the Tottenham midfielder on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football (via Football.London) and some Spurs fans now fully expect the 24-year-old to join the former Spurs boss at the French capital.
Poch and Dele to PSG now

Phew. Poch and PSG is far easier for me to emotionally stomach than pretty much any other possible first post-Spurs gig.

I can see dele and Eriksen at PSG under Poch and you know what they will thrive. Just hope it is a loan with obligation to buy at a decent sum for Alli #COYS #THFC

Spurs Web Opinion
I am pretty pleased that Pochettino has potentially ended up at PSG rather than at another English club. It is a very good move for the Argentine as he will be able to win a few trophies in Paris before potentially returning to England, which I expect him to in the future.
