Dele Alli to follow Mauricio Pochettino to Paris Saint-Germain?

Mauricio Pochettino could reportedly target a loan deal for Tottenham Hotspur attacker Dele Alli once he has officially been announced as the new Paris Saint-Germain boss.

The French champions sacked head coach Thomas Tuchel on Thursday, and Pochettino is regarded as the favourite to replace the German at the helm.

Dele has been strongly linked with a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, having found it difficult to secure regular minutes during the 2020-21 campaign.

PSG were linked with the England international over the summer, and according to European football expert Andy Brassell, a January loan switch to the French champions could be on the cards.

"Coaches have their favourite players," Brassell told talkSPORT. "PSG don't have that much money to play with, so a loan deal could be on the cards. He's not the first player they need, but they are lacking a bit of creativity and Marco Veratti is injured quite often."

The 24-year-old, who excelled under Pochettino at Tottenham, was criticised by current Spurs boss Jose Mourinho for his performance against Stoke City in the EFL Cup on Wednesday night.
