Mauricio Pochettino quiet on Mikel Arteta rumours

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino refuses to comment on reports suggesting that he is looking to poach Mikel Arteta from North London rivals Arsenal.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has refused to comment on reports linking him with a move for Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta at the end of the season.

The Argentine enjoys a good relationship with Arteta from their playing days at Paris Saint-Germain, and is reportedly considering poaching the Spaniard from Tottenham's North London rivals.

It is understood that Pochettino is keen on bringing the 34-year-old to White Hart Lane in a coaching capacity, but while he acknowledged that the pair are good friends, the Spurs boss was tight-lipped on whether any move was in the pipeline.

"I love him and he loves me. You know our history from Paris Saint-Germain, when he was 17 and I was the captain," he told reporters.

"We have a very good relationship. The thing is rumours and you know I never speak about rumours."

Arteta has made just two starts in all competitions for Arsenal this season, neither of which has come in the Premier League.
