          The Toe Poke Daily is here every day to bring you all the weirdest stories, quirkiest viral content and top trolling that the internet has to offer, all in one place.

          Pochettino is out in Doha with his assistant Jesus Perez, where the two are passing the time between jobs with leisurely games of FootGolf.

          Indeed, it turns out Poch has a bit of a natural gift, especially if this 35-yard hole-in-one is anything to go by.

          Yes, that was none other than John Barnes getting involved with the joyous celebrations too.

          Pochettino, Perez, Barnes and several other notable ex-pros, including the likes of Ruud Gullit, Iker Casillas and Frank de Boer, are all in Doha ahead of the Club World Cup final between Liverpool and Flamengo on Saturday.

          Salzburg show the way to Liverpool

          Liverpool completed a deal for midfielder Takumi Minamino this week, thus continuing their new tradition of signing players from FC Salzburg.

          The Japan international, 24, has agreed a deal in principle and will formally complete his move to Anfield when the transfer window opens in January.

          Indeed, Salzburg were quick to remind their Premier League counterparts after seeing a third alumni join the Reds in the space of just four years.

          Sadio Mane was the first former Salzburg man to arrive at Anfield in 2016, swiftly followed by Naby Keita last July.

          However, Minamino is the first player to sign for Liverpool directly from the Austrian club, with Mane and Keita enjoying lay-overs at Southampton and RB Leipzig respectively.

          Strangely, the Reds decided to welcome their new man by sharing a video of him absolutely destroying Jurgen Klopp's team during the Champions League group stage meeting between the two teams in October.

          Minamino was on the scoresheet in a pulsating 4-3 win for Liverpool, proving that he already has what it takes to make a big impression at Anfield.

          Juve get special shirt for Super Cup

          Adidas have joined forces with renowned artist Shaker Kashgari to produce a special, bespoke Juventus shirt for the 2019 Italian Super Cup.

          With the game taking place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on Sunday, Kashgari has unveiled his take on Juve's iconic strip which features traditional Arabic calligraphy.

          The jerseys will be worn by Cristiano Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala and the rest of the Bianconeri players when they take on Lazio at the King Saud University Stadium.

          Each player's name will be written in Arabic script while their respective squad numbers will all feature a Kashgari design that spells out the word "Juventus."

          Man City launch kids' YouTube channel

          Manchester City have become the first football club to launch a YouTube channel specifically dedicated to their youngest fans.

          The City channel will launch on YouTube Kids and will feature content designed for supporters under the age 12.

          As well as alternative match highlights and youth-orientated vlogs with players, the channel will also host a weekly magazine show called "Xtra Time," which will review the week's activities at City, both on and off the pitch.

          Back in 2017, City became the first Premier League club to pass the one million subscribers milestone on YouTube, and now they boast over 2.21 million.
