I can’t help being linked with Real Madrid, says Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino says he can do nothing about reports linking him with Real Madrid.

The Tottenham boss yet again reiterated his commitment to Spurs, insisting that he is happy to stay at the club.

Pochettino is also adamant his club are lucky to be playing their home games at Wembley.

Spurs have been in the national stadium since the beginning of last season and recently committed to staying there until at least January following significant delays to their new stadium.

“We need to be grateful for Wembley, because without Wembley now we play where?” he said.

“Of course, we cannot blame Wembley and I think we need to be grateful because we can compete in London, close to White Hart Lane, close to our training ground and that is a massive advantage for us.

“We need to have patience because if we wait maybe a few weeks more, or months, to finish the stadium.

“The other day we were talking in the meeting with the players and all the staff, and we start to feel it’s so close and it will be a big boost for us to compete there.”
