Spurs boss Pochettino targets Flamengo defender Frickson Erazo

New Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is chasing Flamengo defender Frickson Erazo.

The Mirror says the talented Ecuador international is an early transfer target for Pochettino at White Hart Lane.

Erazo held talks with Southampton last year when Pochettino was in charge and claimed interest from Manchester United when on the books of Ecuador's Barcelona.

"I try not to think about it, it's flattering that big European teams are now watching Ecuadorian football, but if you think about playing for Real Madrid or Manchester United, you can hurt your form," said Erazo.
