PSV will want £20million for the flying winger, who has also been linked with Manchester United.

Pochettino watched PSV’s trip to AZ Alkmaar to follow up on a series of positive reports from Spurs’ scouts.

The Spurs boss believes the World Cup star, who scored 13 goals for PSV last term, will enhance his attack next season.

The new Old Trafford boss has so far recommended Depay should stay in the Eredivisie for one more season to continue his development.

But Depay is ready to join Jan Vertonghen and Christian Eriksen who have swapped Dutch football for White Hart Lane.

Depay netted twice for the Netherlands at the World Cup, against Australia and Chile.
