Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says the door is open to Ryan Mason to return to the club.

The former Hull City midfielder has just announced his retirement.

Pochettino, after their 2-2 draw at Champions League opponents Juventus, responded to Mason's announcement: “It is very sad news but he opens a door for his future with his family.

“Ryan has been at the training ground in recent days. We have been talking to him with [head of academy,] John McDermott.

“He will be successful in whatever he does. He will always be a special player for me.

“He represents for me this change in all when we arrived at Tottenham.

“The door is open for me to help him; and the club because we love him and Rachel and George and all his family.

"Don't worry Ryan, you're going to be a successful person outside of the club."
