Pochettino is a long term admirer of Under and believes he can get the most out of the Turkey international.
According to Teamtalk (via RAI Sports), “Tottenham have contacted Roma over a huge club record bid for winger Cengiz Under. The Turkey forward hasn’t been at his best this season, but that has not stopped an army of admirers expressing their interest in the 21-year-old star. Barcelona, Arsenal and Bayern Munich have all been mentioned as potential suitors over the past few weeks, but RAI Sports claims Tottenham lead the charge after launching a €60m offer to acquire his services in January.”
