Mauricio Pochettino was left frustrated after his former boss Daniel Levy dashed his hopes of a reunion with Dele Alli.
Paris Saint Germain boss Pochettino wanted to rescue Alli from a miserable season at Tottenham by taking the midfielder on loan for the rest of the campaign.
But the former Tottenham head coach was left disappointed after Levy fell short of granting Alli a loan move, despite having approval from head coach Jose Mourinho, because the club couldn’t source a replacement.

Spurs explored a shock loan return for Christian Eriksen, who only joined Inter Milan from north London last January, but the finances involved were too costly.
It all means Alli is facing a hugely uncertain future at Tottenham.
He has been sidelined by Mourinho this season, and with little hope of regular first team football under the Portuguese Alli fears he will see little action.
But with Tottenham still in all four competitions, Levy has dug his heels – despite Alli, Pochettino and Mourinho all wanting the move.
Alli will now have to wait until the summer to seek clarity on his long term position at Spurs.
