Daniel Levy sacked Pochettino 18 months ago but Tottenham are still on the lookout for a replacement for Jose Mourinho.

And talks have reportedly been held between Pochettino and Spurs over a potential comeback, report .

In response to the rumours sporting director Leonardo said: "Mauricio Pochettino has two years left on his contract here at PSG and we are very happy with him.";

Pochettino has won the French Cup and French Super Cup in his short spell in charge, and also took the club to the semi-final of the Champions League.

And PSG are believed to have extended Pochettino's deal by a year to run until 2023.

Spurs could still be confident of luring the 49-year-old back to North London however, as he is said to be unhappy in the French capital.

Levy could have to pay more compensation following the extension of Pochettino's deal but he could be determined to get his man after missing out on other candidates.
