Premier League club Tottenham have reportedly approached PSG star Angel Di Maria over possible switch as soon as his contract lapses at the end of the season.

The Argentine winger has been instrumental for the Parisians under new boss Mauricio Pochettino since the tactician arrived.

However, his contract expires this summer and there are speculations over his future, though Poch would like to keep his countryman in France.

But reports from French outlet L’Equipe are claiming that Spurs are already making background moves for the 32-year-old for him to return to the Premier League.

It was gathered that Di Maria recently accepted pay cut at the Parc des Princes as he understands the current global situation.

He would like to have a two year deal for him to end his career at PSG, but Tottenham could make mouthwatering offers to lure him.

Di Maria has turned out for PSG since 2015 and his ill-fated stint at Manchester United.

After signing to much fanfare from Real Madrid, he made a great start to life at Old Trafford, scoring three times in his first five Premier League games under Louis van Gaal.

Also, Sokratis Papastathopoulos has emerged as a surprise target for Liverpool following their defensive problems of late.

The Reds have been hindered with injury problems to Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip who are all defenders.

This has forced Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to play in their unnatural positions at the back and has cost the Anfield giants a couple of matches this season.

The inexperienced Rhys Williams has been entrusted with activities at the back but his mistake against Man United at the FA Cup tie put a sword through Liverpool's chances in winning a treble this season.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng earlier reported that as Chelsea set to appoint former PSG manager Thomas Tuchel as replacement for ousted Frank Lampard, supercomputer has predicted that the Blues will finish in 6th position at the end of the season.

The Stamford Bridge outfit must prepare for a tough second half of the season after sacked Lampard left them in ninth position.

Confidence in the team visibly plummeted and the manager was heavily criticised over the situation at the club which dates back to their earlier loss to Manchester City.
