All this week we will be picking out 25 star names who could be making a move in the transfer window this summer.

• Manager commits long-term future to Premier League club
• Pochettino hails ‘one of the most exciting jobs in world football’

Mauricio Pochettino has signed a new five-year contract at Tottenham Hotspur worth up to £8.5m each year.

Pochettino called upon the chairman to “be brave and take risks” and it was clear that the Argentinian, who has led Spurs to three successive top-three finishes and Champions League qualifications, was positioning, at the very least, to win certain concessions. Pochettino has worked effectively on relatively meagre budgets during his four seasons at the club and is determined to strengthen the squad in order to challenge for major trophies.
