Is Mauricio Pochettino's son Tottenham's latest star? Spurs offer academy scholarship to 15-year-old winger Maurizio

Tottenham have offered Mauricio Pochettino’s son a scholarship at their academy.

Unlike the Spurs boss, who played centre half for Argentina, 15-year-old Maurizio is a winger who has been in the club’s Under 16 team this season.

Pochettino’s eldest son Sebastiano, 21, also started work at Tottenham as a sports scientist after studying at Southampton Solent University.

It is four years tomorrow since Pochettino arrived in England as manager of Southampton.
