Former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino is being linked with Zenit St Petersburg.

Zenit coach Sergey Semak is under pressure and could be axed, reports Championat.

And high on the list of potential replacements is Pochettino.

Indeed, Zenit are so serious about the Argentine that a contract offer worth €6.5m-a-year has been put together.

At Zenit, former Manchester United scout Javier Ribalta is now football director.
