Southampton hand Pochettino £60M warchest

Southampton are happy for manager Mauricio Pochettino to spend a staggering £60 MILLION this summer.

The Daily Express says Saints will hand the Argentine a £30m transfer warchest for next season as an incentive to stay - and allow him to spend the £27m they expect to get from Manchester United for England full-back Luke Shaw.

Pochettino will also be offered a bumper new deal.

Saints owner Katharina Liebherr is heiress to the £3billion fortune left by her tycoon father Markus, and she intends to use some of that money to bankroll a new deal for Pochettino and strengthen the squad.
