Gallery: The five best Argentines to play for Spurs

The Argentine connection at Tottenham Hotspur is a strong one. Perhaps the most notable Argentine at the club currently is manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Pochettino has arguably transformed the club in his time at the club. Before his arrival, Spurs had continually failed to qualify for the UEFA Champions League apart from their appearance in the 2010/11 season.

Failure to qualify for Europe’s elite competition was accompanied by a lack of stability in terms of managers. However, this is not the case anymore, with Pochettino entering his sixth year in North London.

Pochettino isn’t the only Argentine to have a substantial impact on the club. Not a lot of Argentine’s have played for the club, but the few that have made an impact worthy enough to feature on this list.

And if the rumours are true, there could be one other Argentine on his way shortly.

Giovani Lo Celso’s transfer to Tottenham is reportedly ’80 percent” complete according to Estadio Deportivo.

With the potential arrival of Lo Celso, we look at the top five Argentines who have played for Spurs.

Diego Maradona was the most coveted Argentine to ever grace a Spurs shirt. It only happened on one occasion in Ossie’s testimonial, but what a sight it was.
