Next Messi will be in PL – Poch

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino believes the next superstars of football will be playing in England and not in Spain.

Currently home to Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, Antoine Griezmann and Neymar amongst others, the current Spurs boss believes the shifting economic pulling power to England will attract more star names to the Premier League.

"These types of players do not come around every day or every year," Pochettino told Marca.

"Real Madrid and Barcelona already have Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo and no one will take them away.

"But with the economic power now that some English clubs have, the next superstar will play in England.

"Personalities and characters are good for the Premier League.

"The focus is on England because the best coaches or those who have won the most are here. It's a further motivation for me, I'm still learning and every weekend is a challenge."
