Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly offered a new big-money contract to manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Londoners are keen to tie the Argentine tactician down to a new deal after transforming the team into genuine title contenders, and have offered him a club-record £5.5million-a-year deal to stay at White Hart Lane.

Pochettino has impressed hugely since joining Spurs from Southampton last season, guiding the north London club to within inches of the Premier League title as they look to overturn unlikely leaders Leicester City.

The 44-year-old’s work has seen him linked as a possible contender for the Manchester United job, but Tottenham are working hard to keep him, according to the Daily Mail.




Initial talks between Daniel Levy and Pochettino were held over the recent international break, and Spurs are said to be confident an agreement will be reached.
