Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino has made a last ditch effort to convince Carles Alena to sign for the English side. Alena, before the B team were promoted on Sunday, was doubtful over whether or not he should continue at Barcelona, but in the end has decided to renew his deal.

Pochettino made an attempt to sign him and promised him first team football at White Hart Lane, the same as Newcastle's Rafa Benitez did.

However Alena has shown he is a Cule and wants to succeed at Barcelona. Luis Enrique gave him some minor action and now we must wait to see what Ernesto Valverde's plans are for him.
