Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly set to be confirmed as the new manager of Paris Saint-Germain imminently and is weighing up a January move for Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli.

Confirmation of Thomas Tuchel's sacking as PSG boss was announced on Tuesday morning with Pochettino now in advanced talks to replace the German.

With the transfer window opening on January 2, the Daily Mail reports that the Argentine will have an immediate opportunity to improve his squad and Spurs midfielder Alli is one of his main targets.

The Ligue 1 club were preparing a loan move for the 24-year-old last summer but a deal failed to materialise.

However, it remains to be seen whether Spurs are willing to allow the England international to leave the club next month and let him join another top European outfit.

Alli has played just 75 minutes of Premier League action this campaign after falling down the pecking order under Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho.
