Gyokeres (25) and Bardghji (18) are both Swedish attackers who have scored 15 and 11 goals, respectively, this season.

Pochettino, who is looking to add height to his squad, has also included 6ft 1in forwards Ivan Toney and Victor Osimhen on his five-man shortlist.

Antonio Nusa, 18, of Club Brugge, is the sixth name on the list. Chelsea is thought to have had a deadline day bid rejected in the summer.

Kanyidaily recalls that Pochettino has put up five Chelsea players for sale in order to reshuffle the squad.
