Mauricio Pochettino hints at Dele Alli transfer as Jose Mourinho sets Tottenham trophy target

Here's all the news from around the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium over the past 24 hours.

Mourinho transcript

The Spurs head coach faced the media after his side beat Brentford to reach the Carabao Cup final and the main talking point from his press conference was about how important winning a trophy is.

"If you see the winners you realise the big clubs want to win it," Mourinho said. "Who was the last winner apart from the normal top six? Swansea?

"I remember Man City winning a lot of times, Chelsea winning a lot of times, I remember United winning a few times.

"I remember Liverpool in finals, Arsenal.

Transfer talk

Mauricio Pochettino has responded to speculation linking Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli with a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Former Spurs boss Pochettino has just been appointed as the new head coach of PSG.

Alli was linked with the French giants - even before Pochettino's appointment - after finding his first-team chances limited under Jose Mourinho so far this season.

The England international's lack of game time has raised questions about his future at Tottenham.

So, with the January transfer window now open, could he be set for a potential reunion with his old manager in Paris?

Pochettino faced the media on Tuesday afternoon and was asked about a possible move for Alli.

Real deal?

Harry Kane has been urged to join Real Madrid by former Tottenham defender Jonathan Woodgate.

Woodgate made the move to Spain to join Real after spells with Leeds and Newcastle United.

He went on to play for Middlesbrough, Spurs and Stoke City.

Kane has established himself as one of the world's top strikers, scoring more than 200 goals for Tottenham.

He has not won a major trophy yet, however, and Woodgate believes the England international may have to leave in order to take his career to the next level.

“If Real Madrid come in for you – especially Harry Kane – he has got to go," Woodgate told Stadium Astro.“If he wants to win trophies and get onto that next pedestal of Messi, Ronaldo and that type of player, he has to go.

“I don’t see him winning the league at Spurs, not this season and not in the next few seasons.

“They have got too much building to do to get up there with Liverpool and Man City.

“For me, if he wants to win the European Cup, then he has got a chance of winning it at Real Madrid.”
