Arsenal are hoping to secure the services of Saints star Morgan Schneiderlin, but want to wait until the summer to finish off the deal.
Wenger has been a long-term admirer of the Frenchman but is unlikely to make a move in January.
Schneiderlin is also wanted by Tottenham, with Pochettino keen on joining up with the midfielder after being at Southampton together.
It seems the 25-year old will have a choice of either of the North London sides.
