Mauricio Pochettino 'to receive £1m pay rise'

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly in line to receive a pay rise of around £1m as reward for his side's title charge this season.

The Argentine, who took over at White Hart Lane in 2014, is said to be close to agreeing a new three-year contract with an annual salary of £4.5m.

According to The Sun, Spurs are keen to complete the deal soon following an approach from Chelsea for Pochettino's services.

Spurs are currently two points off league leaders Leicester City with eight games of their season remaining.
