Mauricio Pochettino believes Tottenham Hotspur have shaken off the hangover of last season’s meltdown in the Premier League title race as they prepare to challenge on multiple fronts following Saturday’s 4-0 win at Stoke City.

Meanwhile, Lloris has backed his France worldwide team-mate Moussa Sissoko to make a big impact at Spurs after joining the club from Newcastle United on last Wednesday’s transfer deadline day.
That closed last week with Son still a Spurs player, though, and having opted to return home early from worldwide duty with South Korea to fight for his place in Pochettino’s side, he responded by netting a brace in a 4-0 win over the Potters after replacing Erik Lamela in the starting line-up.
“I see a great future, it is going only one way at the moment”.
“I think it’s a very good group of people, very good players who connect with each other, staff, who connect with the players”.
Eriksen was signed in the wake of Gareth Bale’s seismic departure to Real Madrid back in 2013 and has since gone on to establish himself as one of the club’s most important players.
“Starting Saturday we have seven games in 20 days and a insane schedule until Christmas”. “It’s always been the plan to sign a new deal and now it’s happened I’m relieved and very happy”.
“We’re delighted with our acquisitions and we want to get them on the pitch as soon as possible to show our fans”.
Pochettino must have considered giving £30 million deadline-day signing Moussa Sissoko a debut ahead of Lamela, who returned from worldwide duty late on Thursday but opted for Son and the manager was repaid with a match-winning performance.
“In the second half I’m very pleased, because the performance was nearly flawless”.

Tottenham had looked a little short on attacking ideas to start the new season. “He needed to score, he’s very important for the team because he can help us”. “Two of them played in the Champions League final not too long ago”, Martin Schoots told Danish newspaper BT. It was tough for us, but we have worked hard to forget last season and refocus.
