Pochettino wants final say on Tottenham transfers

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino wants control of their summer market plans.

Chairman Daniel Levy, head of recruitment Paul Mitchell and technical director Franco Baldini will also be involved in the process.

But when asked who will make the ultimate decisions, Pochettino laughed: "I think it should be me, no?

"Always the manager and the coaching staff need to deal with the player, in the changing room or on the pitch.

"And if the feeling is not good between us it is difficult to achieve something.

"It is very important that the players who stay here and the players who maybe we bring in that I agree and it is my decision.

"Because if not, if you bring in some players here and I don't know these players, maybe it is not that they are bad players but it is important the feeling the player has with the coaching staff or the manager."
