#4 They may be able to strengthen their squad
Pochettino is a fascinating character when it comes to signing new players, as we’ve often seen him bring a player in only to jettison them just one season later when it becomes clear that they don’t match his vision. Clinton N’Jie was just one example of this. At other times, though, he has persisted with a player who might not look great at first – Son Heung-Min for example – only for them to come good later.
It feels like Pochettino is more likely to sign a player based on how he feels they fit into his vision of the team rather than purely on their talent, but with Champions League football being offered at Tottenham for the second season running, the window of talent he’s able to look at may have just become wider.
Already Spurs have been linked with Everton star Ross Barkley, who would definitely help to bolster the Tottenham midfield, and Naby Keita, Wilfried Zaha and Alexandre Lacazette have also been linked with moves to White Hart Lane. With Champions League football on offer, Pochettino may have his pick of the bunch when it comes to top players wanting to join Spurs, and a stronger squad means a better chance of Premier League glory.
