Spurs boss Pochettino refuses to discuss Arsenal target and Saints star Morgan Scheiderlin
MAURICIO POCHETTINO refused to be drawn in on Tottenham and Arsenal’s pursuit of Southampton star Morgan Scheiderlin.
When questioned over the pursuit of the French international, Pochettino reacted in an animated manner and swiftly refused to comment.
He said: “No I don’t like, its not my style to talk about another player and another club.
“I have respect for all, there is nothing to do and nothing to say.”

Despite his attempts to quell the rumours, and show former side Southampton a great deal of respect, rumours over Scheiderlin’s future look set to continue.
Especialy given the latest reports that Schneiderlin had a gentlemen's agreement in place with former Saints chiefs for a move to White Hart Lane.
The 24-year-old’s agreement was signed during Nicola Cortese’s tenure as chairman, and he is adamant that the club should honour their verbal contract.
Schneiderlin's reported exit would constitute the sixth significant player to leave St. Mary's this summer after Rickie Lambert, Calum Chambers, Adam Lallana, Dejan Lovren and Luke Shaw.
