Dani Alves has left Juventus, and is expected to join Manchester City shortly. However, the figure of Pochettino has emerged to stand in the way of Guardiola achieving one of his transfer targets.

As reported by The Sun, Pochettino has requested the signing of Brazilian right-back Dani Alves for next season in the Premier League.

By the looks of things, Tottenham would be willing to get ahead of Manchester City to sign the former Barcelona man.

Mauricio Pochettino is looking for a replacement for Kyle Walker, who will leave this summer, precisely to Guardiola's team, and the Argentine coach sees Alves as the ideal substitute.

Who will succeed in the battle for the Brazilian?
