There was a very interesting sight in the crowd for Ireland's friendly against the Netherlands.

Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino and his assistant Jesus Perez were in the Aviva Stadium for the match, raising suspicions that they could be looking at potential signings for the 2016/17 season. Pochettino was spotted conversing with Pat Dolan, the agent/advisor for Southampton striker Shane Long who started up front for the Boys In Green. Long had an excellent season with the Saints, scoring 10 goals and racking up four assists including a brace during his side's 4-0 drubbing of Arsenal on St Stephen's Day. His fine form has earned him regular headlines in the transfer gossip columns and he has been linked with a move away from St Mary's for a long time now, with Liverpool being another rumoured destination for the Tipperary man. https://twitter.com/glennjmason/status/736266091509473280?lang=en Click snap
