Tottenham boss Pochettino: Players now becoming companies

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is worried about the corporatisation of individual players.

Pochettino fears Premier League stars are now becoming “companies" with the circus around them more influential than their clubs.

He said: “It is not about money. Of course it is a business and there is too many people involved in business.

“Everyone tries to get the best for the client but players play because they love football. It is more professional than 30-40 years ago. Every player is like a company.

"They look after players."
