Pochettino could bring Kane to Newcastle

Mauricio Pochettino is thought to be interested in bringing Harry Kane to Newcastle United, should the Argentine take over at St James' Park.

Pochettino has been out of work since November and is now free to return to management after a six-month period of gardening leave after being sacked by Tottenham.

The Argentine has been linked with taking the reins of an exciting rebuild of the Magpies, backed by a wealthy Saudi consortium whose takeover is expected to be cleared this week.

According to Todofichajes, Pochettino is edging closer to becoming the Newcastle manager, with an agreement between himself and the club "practically closed".

What's more, Pochettino has ambitious plans and has spoken to Spurs marksman Kane via telephone about moving up north.

Kane admitted earlier this season that he could look to leave Tottenham if the club's progress did not match his own ambitions.
