Mauricio Pochettino is plotting long-term transfer plans - with Tottenham.

The Daily Star says Pochettino has already started making his transfer plans for next season.

That indicates the Tottenham chief – strongly linked with a move to Real Madrid as pressure mounts on Zinedine Zidane – will still be in charge for the 2018-19 campaign at least.

Pochettino is working with the Spurs recruitment department on summer transfer targets as part of the planning for next season.

Tottenham landed Brazil winger Lucas Moura, 25, from Paris Saint-Germain just before last month's transfer window closed for £23million.

And they are now eyeing another Brazilian attacker in Bordeaux's Malcom, 20.
