Spurs boss Pochettino desperate to keep Lloris

The Argentine has overseen the development of star players such as Danny Rose, Eric Dier, Dele Alli and Harry Kane, and Spurs are benefiting from their youth policy having been beaten just once in the Premier League so far this season. “You can’t be more anxious about some players because of rumours or what happened in the summer”. “This year we haven’t had that”, he said as quoted by The Independent. “We play some terrific stuff and hopefully they will show that goal for what it is, a quality team goal”. It was disappointing in lots of ways.

“The pass was ideal to be honest, I didn’t really have too much to do, I just had to make the contact”. There are people in the game who can handle it, there are people who can’t.

Tony Pulis, the West Bromwich Albion head coach, claims his club have been without the real Saido Berahino for up to six months. “He needs to get back to his best and West Brom is the best place for him”, Pulis told reporters today.

Saido Berahino was left on the bench for the fourth game in the row.

The 22-year old Baggie has been linked with a host of big name Premier League clubs such as Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle in recent weeks.

Tottenham visit The Hawthorns on Saturday, when manager Mauricio Pochettino may get the chance to run the rule once more over his one-time target. Tottenham’s priority is to secure Champions League football next season but as the more established challengers continue to stumble, there may be an opportunity to aim even higher. “Agree or not agree we want to win the next game and take the three points”.

‘They were in the reserves when I first went in there, so I’ve played with them for years and watched them progress.

“We came off disappointed we had not won”.

“It’s for that (reason) that I’m very happy here because I find very good people, with the staff, and with Daniel we have a very good relationship”. No one has rung me up and said there is a deal there to be done and no one has rung the chairman up so it’s speculation.

‘We have a lot of the ball and if in one split second you switch off, that’s when the opposition can hurt you.
