Mauricio Pochettino Suggests Xavi Works for Man City After Dele Alli Comments

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has hit back at Xavi and accused him of working for Manchester City after the Barcelona legend said Dele Alli is the "type of player" Sky Blues manager Pep Guardiola would like to buy.

The Spurs boss suggested Xavi was trying to help out his friend and former manager Guardiola and said the Spaniard tried to sabotage his side because of Pochettino's previous connection as a player and manager with Barca's local rivals Espanyol, per Dan Kilpatrick of ESPN FC:
