But while it is thought City could make some major moves in transfer market for next season, Guardiola has assured Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino that Alli is not on his wish list.

Guardiola told Sky Sports: "Mauricio Pochettino has to stay calm. Dele Alli will be his player next season. I am pretty sure about that. We don't want him.

"He is a fantastic player – (a) good, new, English footballer. He's a fighter. He's good. He's someone who attacks the box and is one of the most fantastic players I have ever seen in my life.

"But Manchester City doesn't want Dele Alli."
