TITLE CHASE
Mauricio Pochettino calls for one last push from Spurs
Spurs face a critical week in the title race as they try to close the gap on leaders Chelsea
London — Mauricio Pochettino wants his Tottenham Hotspur stars to ignore speculation over their futures and focus on winning the Premier League. Pochettino’s side face a critical week in the title race as they try to close the four-point gap on leaders Chelsea just days after suffering a FA Cup semifinal loss against their London rivals. That 4-2 defeat to the Blues at Wembley has not damped interest in several of Tottenham’s key players as Europe’s top clubs plan their close-season spending sprees. Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld and Eric Dier are all reported targets, while former Barcelona midfielder Xavi has suggested Dele Alli is the type of player his old manager Pep Guardiola would like to sign for Manchester City.
