Mauricio Pochettino will ask chairman Daniel Levy and owner Joe Lewis to sanction a £150million overhaul of his Tottenham Hotspur squad this summer.

Pochettino wants to know he will be given the funds to bring in the players he wants and the freedom to sell those he feels he can replace, as he tries to transform Spurs into winners.

He also wants to be confident his star men will be offered contracts, ideally ahead of the World Cup, before recommitting his own long-term future to Spurs.

Levy is keen for Pochettino to sign a new contract worth up to £8.5million-a-year, but the Argentine wants promises over the direction he can take the club before signing.

Up until now Pochettino has largely played by Levy’s rules and accepted the club cannot afford to compete with their top-four rivals.

But having clinched qualification to the Champions League, he wants to take the next step with Tottenham and try to turn his squad into one that can win silverware.
