Maurizio Pochettino is moving from Tottenham to Watford on a four year deal.
The son of Paris St Germain and former Spurs boss Mauricio, the 19-year old has taken the bold step of leaving to give himself a greater chance of first team football at Vicarage Road.
A right sided midfielder with an eye for goal, Pochettino Jr has enjoyed a strong season playing in Tottenham’s development squad but recognised the competition ahead for a first team place is fierce. Tottenham have helped pave the way by allowing him to move on a free.
Born in Barcelona and raised in Paris and Southampton, Pochettino will initially link up with Watford’s U23s but coach Xisco Munoz will be keeping a keen eye on his progress.
Watford finalised the signing of Dan Gosling from Bournemouth today and are keen on Newcastle’s Matty Longstaff.
Leicester are showing an interest in Watford’s Nathaniel Chalobah.
