According to Fabrizio Romano, the versatile defender is therefore expected to leave the club once the transfer window opens again in January. Pochettino has made it clear to the 24-year-old that he is not part of his plans in both the short and long term, though denies \u2018freezing him out\u2019 despite speculation.<\/p>\n
