And the boss isn’t prepared to let some internationals have an extended break, with Harry Kane one of those expected to be called back to pre-season training earlier than some had expected.
The 21-year-old has caught the attention of clubs in the Premier League with the Mirror claiming that Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham have all shown a keen interest in the attacker over recent months.
According to French outlet Foot Sur 7, Bielsa’s hand was very much behind N’Koudou’s imminent move to Spurs as he spoke to Pochettino about the winger, advising the Tottenham manager to pounce.
According to the reliable French newspaper L’Equipe, the 21-year-old is now in the process of completing his medical with the move set to be announced as early as today.
The 21-year-old made a total of 38 appearances for Marseille last season scoring 10 goals in all competitions and providing five assists.
Pochettino has so far recruited Victor Wanyama from Southampton and Vincent Janssen from AZ Alkmaar for a combined £28m, as the club bolster their squad ahead of a return to the Champions League this season.
