Pochettino never expected to sign Messi but believes Argentine will produce his best at PSG

A stunning deal was pulled off by the Ligue 1 heavyweights over the summer when the all-time great became a free agent

Mauricio Pochettino admits he never expected to be a position where signing Lionel Messi was a realistic option, but the Paris Saint-Germain boss is expecting the Argentine to produce his best after settling quickly in French football.

A stunning coup for the Ligue 1 giants was secured over the summer when financial difficulties at Barcelona led to Messi becoming a free agent.

Pochettino was stunned a fellow countryman could join him at Parc des Princes and is looking to make the most of the opportunity.
