Chelsea coach Joe Cole feels Tottenham would face a star exodus should manager Mauricio Pochettino leave.

Pochettino is being linked with Real Madrid today.

And Cole thinks that may cause a few of the star players to think about looking for a move away - a view that will make the former Chelsea and West Ham star even more unpopular with fans.

Three-time Premier League winner Cole, 37, said: "If I'm Harry Kane and Dele Alli and my manager says we're five, ten years away from winning a trophy, I'm on the phone to my agent.

"He's [Pochettino] made an improvement but I don't see him making a change in the mentality at Spurs, because you're still seeing the same problems where you expect things like they'll lose to Burnley at the weekend.

"All your quality English players, like your Winks and your Kanes and your Allis, have their sights set on winning Premier League titles."
