OPINION
What a day for Tottenham fans! After seeing their rivals land Unai Emery, it would seem that Daniel Levy has carefully chosen his moment to unveil this news. Poch is vital for Spurs and if they are going to end their status as the Premier League’s bridesmaids – based on the fact that they get so close but always end up being the runners-up – then they need the 46-year-old at the helm going forward. To hear that in addition, there will be others putting pen to paper is amazing news for the club, but the fact that Levy has given Pochettino his assurances on the financial front that will allow the club to go into the transfer market in pursuit of going to the next level is an added bonus. For Spurs supporters, it must be like all their Christmas’ have come at once. Now it is just a matter of time to see who will be next to agree new terms. Will it be Toby Alderweireld?
