Former Spurs coach claims Mauricio Pochettino 'would be open' to a return to North London... and says the Argentinian could make Wilfred Zaha his first signing should he go back

Mauricio Pochettino would be open to a return to Tottenham, according to one of the men that helped mastermind the Argentinian's first spell at the club.

David Webb spent two years as head of elite identification and player development at the North London club and was responsible for scouting Son Heung-Min when he was still plying his trade in the Bundesliga.

Speculation remains rife regarding the managerial hot seat at Spurs following Antonio Conte's scathing comments to the media after his side collapsed against strugglers Southampton last week.

Though he admitted that he isn't sure what Pochettino's relationship with club chairman Daniel Levy is like, especially following the Argentine's sacking in 2019, Webb believes his former colleague could be next in line if the Italian is given the boot.
