According to reports in 'The Mirror', Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino is looking to celebrate the signing of his new contract by sealing move for three precocious talents this summer.

The Argentine put pen to paper on a new five-year deal earlier this week after being given assurances about the direction the club is moving in and is now reportedly planning a summer of spending.

According to the aformentioned source, Manchester United forward Anthony Martial, Ajax centre-back Matthijs de Ligt and Fulham starlet Ryan Sessegnon are the three player Pochettino is eyeing as he looks to build a squad capable of competing for the Premier League title.

De Ligt and Sessegnon, both 18, are considered two of the brightest talents in their respective countries, with the former already a full Netherlands international and the latter having scored 15 Championship goals for the 'Cottagers' this season.

Martial, meanwhile is known to have been a long term target for Spurs, who are hoping to take advantage of the Frenchman's slip down the pecking order following the arrival of Alexis Sanchez in January.
