Tottenham Hotspur academy forward Maurizio Pochettino has shared a picture of himself (alongside his father Mauricio Pochettino) putting pen to paper on a new deal. He was within days of seeing his contract expire at the North London club, but the Premier League confirmed on their retained lists that Spurs had offered him a new deal. The 19-year-old has been a key player for the under-23s since making the step-up last term, and he will hope to quickly break into the senior team going forward. Pochettino will have to impress his father’s successor Jose Mourinho to have a chance of featuring for the first-team, and Tottenham legend Graham Roberts reckons he can, reacting thus on Twitter to the picture:
Roberts also thinks Pochettino will return to manage Spurs some day, and it will be interesting to see if that will happen.
