Daniel Levy sent Mauricio Pochettino plea as former Tottenham boss urged to make Chelsea U-turn

Tottenham Hotspur legend Ricky Villa has urged Mauricio Pochettino to complete a sensational return to Spurs as he seemingly edges closer to being named Chelsea manager. The Blues outlined the former Spurs boss as their frontrunner a number of weeks ago with crucial negotiations continuing in the hopes of both parties agreeing favourable terms.

Despite fresh updates on Pochettino to Chelsea appearing scarce, a source recently told football.london that the Argentine has held multiple rounds of talks with the Blues over the vacant managerial position, and those negotiations have been described as positive and full of progress.

Spurs are also on the search for a new permanent manager but look to be focussing their attention away from Pochettino. Julian Nagelsmann, Xabi Alonso and Vincent Kompany appear to be three names at the top of Daniel Levy's wish list.
