Tottenham have offered new contracts to three of their rising stars including the son of former manager Mauricio Pochettino.

The Premier League's official retained list released in the last 24 hours names Maurizio Pochettino, Jonathan De Bie and Elliot Thorpe as having offers on the table from Spurs.

All three currently have professional contracts with the north London heavyweights.

It is not stated if winger Pochettino, 19, goalkeeper De Bie, 20, and central midfielder Thorpe, 19, are set to extend their deals.

The trio are currently in the club's Under-23s set-up and have yet to make their first-team debuts.

Pochettino joined the club's academy in summer 2017 when his dad was the manager and his current contract is up on June 30.

He made 14 appearances for the Spurs youth teams before their seasons ended when the country went into lockdown and was starting to establish himself as a regular for the Under-23s.

De Bie has made eight appearances for the club's Under-23s in 2019-20 and is fighting Brandon Austin for the keeper starting role.

Thorpe is an Wales Under-19 international and has been promoted from the Under-18s this season to the more senior of the age-group sides.

Pochettino's other son, Sebastiano, worked as a first-team conditioning coach at Spurs but left the club when his dad was sacked last November.
