Spurs keeping tabs on Manchester United winger as contract talks loom

According to reports in this morning’s Sunday Mirror, Manchester United winger Jesse Lingard will sit down with club officials to discuss a potential new deal at Old Trafford with Spurs monitoring the situation with interest.
 
The 24-year-old is yet to agree on an extension to his current contract and is believed to want to be able to increase his earning power at Old Trafford to around £100,000-a-week. The England international is also understood to be looking for a five-year agreement whereas the club are only prepared to offer four.
 
Spurs boss Mauricio Pocettino is a huge admirer of the player and is interested in adding him to his squad of young top-class English talent alongside the likes of Dele Alli, Harry Kane and Eric Dier. The Argentine coach is also prepared to offer Lingard regular first-team action in north London, something that he has failed to command under Jose Mourinho.
