Spurs are the closest thing Chelsea have to title rivals right now, and it’s safe to say Pochettino’s men probably warrant a place in at least the top-three come the end of the campaign.
Their fans here in the Tavern have been impressed with another strong season of football at White Hart Lane, having pushed Leicester City all the way to the end of the campaign last time out too.
Spurs claimed a hard-fought win over Southampton last time out as they aimed to lessen Chelsea’s lead at the top of the table, but the gap still remains a hefty ten points with just a handful of games left to play.
So with the title seemingly out of reach for yet another campaign, fans here in the pub have been turning their attentions towards the summer, and the choices Pochettino will have to make when it comes to incomings and outgoings at the club.
And with a number of stars having both impressed and flopped this season, what are we expecting to see from the Argentine chief when it comes to getting rid of players?
With that in mind, here’s the THREE Spurs stars who Pochettino has the biggest decision to make on this summer…
KEEP: Vincent Janssen
A name that might surprise a few people here in the pub that we want to stay next season is Vincent Janssen, who has struggled in the shadow of international star Harry Kane.
But these next few weeks could prove decisive for the former Eredivisie man, who is expected to be given the chance to lead the line in Kane’s absence, who is expected to miss out through injury.
If he impresses, he could become a big part of this current side but he needs to make the next few games count.
AXE: Georges Kevin N’Koudou
Georges N’Koudou has endured a tough time of it having made the move to Spurs last summer and he’s struggled to make it into the first-team on many occasions this campaign.
Spurs fans have been a little underwhelmed by what they’ve seen from the former Marseille man when he has come onto the pitch and £11 million seems like a lot for a player who doesn’t seem to deliver much end product at the right end of the pitch.
Our Tavern faithful seem to have made up their mind on N’Koudou, and it seems like not too many would be bothered to see him leave this summer.
He’s one Poch should axe.
AXE: Clinton N’Jie
Funnily enough, another player whom our fans here in the Tavern don’t think has cut the mustard since making the move to London is Clinton N’Jie, who is currently serving a loan spell with Marseille.
He cost around £8 million in the summer of 2015, making just a handful of appearances and failing to score during his time at the club.
He’s expected to stay in France when his loan spell there does expire, with Marseille having the option to sign him.
He’s another name Pochettino should axe going forward.
