Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is in the hunt for a new striker. The Daily Mail says Pochettino, upon his arrival from Southampton in the summer, insisted he wanted to give those at the club a chance to ink themselves into his blueprint.
But the Argentine knows now he'll have to buy a new striker in January.
His interest in Rodriguez, a player he worked with and helped nurture at St Mary's, is no secret.
There was a willingness, certainly from Pochettino, to strike a deal with the Saints for the England international, whose long-term knee injury meant that Tottenham's interest cooled.
But now, Pochettino feels Rodriguez's pace and movement can help transform his forward line for the final months of the season.
