Fabrizio Romano claims that a contract between Poch and PSG has already been signed after the Ligue 1 champions fired Thomas Tuchel.

PSG is now ready to confirm the arrival of the former Tottenham player to the bench.

And Pochettino will soon meet with sporting director Leonardo to identify the transfer target for both this month and summer.

SunSport understands that Spurs captain Hugo Lloris is a target for Poch, a 2019 Champions League finalist.

PSG also remains interested in Lloris’ teammate Dele Alli after losing the midfielder in October.

And Poch would also like to meet Christian Eriksen after he was signed by Inter Milan.

However, the priority is to convince Neymar and Mbappé to extend their current agreements beyond 2022.

PSG faces selling the pair of stars next summer to avoid losing them on free transfers if they reject new offers.

And Pochettino will do his best to keep them in the French capital as he seeks to build a team worthy of winning Europe’s top prize.

Neymar has long been linked to a return to Barcelona after he left it for PSG in a world record move of £ 200 million in 2017.

Meanwhile, Mbappé is reported to be Real Madrid’s main target and might be ready for a new challenge after dominating French soccer with PSG and Monaco.
