Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy fought off attempts by Chelsea to prise Mauricio Pochettino away, it has been revealed.

The Sun says Levy previously rejected an unofficial approach from Chelsea for Pochettino.

Pochettino has impressed as Spurs boss over the past five years, though Tottenham have struggled at the start of this season.

They have won just two of their opening six Premier League matches and were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by League Two Colchester.

It's led to questions over Pochettino's future after the Argentine regularly voiced his disapproval over the club's transfer policy in the summer.

But Spurs chairman Levy is clearly keen to keep Pochettino.

He turned down an official approach from Real Madrid and an unofficial move by Chelsea for his manager.
