Mauricio Pochettino looking to bring in some youth to the mid-section of his Paris Saint-Germain squad while Antonio Conte is still seeing his Tottenham team a bit rough around the edges. It wouldn’t be a surprise if the two sides do some business before the transfer window closes.Let’s start with the London club. Conte’s arrival has done little to improve the form of the talented French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele and with Pochettino being the one who brought the former Lyon playmaker to Spurs – a reunion is now likely to happen. Poch had little time to work with Ndombele since was dismissed from the managerial position that very same season but the Argentine might get a second chance.Talks ongoing between Tottenham and Paris Saint-Germain for Tanguy Ndombele – confirmed. Player keen on the move, clubs in direct contact as per @JackPittBrooke. 🇫🇷 #PSGNegotiations in progress for loan move, PSG could include a buy option. Salary coverage now discussed. #THFC pic.twitter.com/Acfa8lJ3cR— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) January 20, 2022 The Parisians are looking to bolster their squad and even with rumours persisting that Zinedine Zidane will be replacing Pochettino at the end of the current season, the Argentine is eager to improve his authority over a star-studded squad. Only if the team wins the Champions League, the 2021/22 season will be considered a success by club owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi. And with a huge possibility that Kylian Mbappe will leave on a free transfer in June – time is of the essence.Wed, 19.00: (2.30) IVORY COAST (3.05) EGYPT (3.80)With defensive transitions being one of the main problems at the Parc des Princes this season, Pochettino wants Ndombele to add balance to his midfield. The Dutch international Gini Wijnaldum has found it difficult to adapt to football under the Argentine and his arrival hasn’t alleviated the issue in the mid-section of the pitch.”I never talk about players from other clubs, PSG like other clubs, are open to different options to try and improve,” Pochettino explained to the press.”I think everything is open, there is a week left in the transfer window.”The French club and the Spurs have their negotiations underway over a loan move for the Congolese-rooted midfielder, which could also involve Pochettino’s countryman Leandro Paredes who might be heading to north London in a possible swap.Ronaldo’s first ‘victim’ at Old Trafford – Martial on loan at SevillaManaging to move a player on would be a success for Conte, who at a time is desperate for reinforcements of his own. The North Londoners were easily outmatched after a slack display against Italian’s former success club Chelsea and it rang even more alarms for the Conte who feels he should build a team on his own terms.
