The England worldwide has been heavily linked with a move away from White Hart Lane after an outstanding year that has seen the 22-year-old cement his place in Pochettino’s side.

After failing to score in their last three Premier League games including a goalless draw with 10-man Bournemouth in a match where they missed numerous chances including a penalty kick, the performance at White Hart Lane on Sunday will have come as a confidence boost for Leicester as they came so close to pulling off another notable victory.
Sure, maybe some fans could have seen Tottenham Hotspur spending some time in fourth place this season, but facing off with a Leicester City team that’s in second place, and has spent a fair bit of time on top of the table?
Tottenham are flying this season having lost just one league game since the opening day, while United in contrast are stuttering and languish three points behind Pochettino’s charges.
“We have a young team, an ambitious team and we all have the same goal”. “The only way to sort that out is to work hard, keep going and be ready for the next few games”.
Influential striker Jamie Vardy, whose injury problems could have caused a prolonged absence from the team, will spearhead Leicester’s attack and the Englishman will likely be partnered by Okazaki up front.
He the club’s official website: “We’re devastated not to get the win”.
But, that’s exactly what we’re looking at this season, and thanks to the wacky nature of the Premier League it’s been a fun ride. We are really happy and very pleased he is with us.
“We always say it – the strength of the squad and the character of the group is probably our biggest strength”.
Both players are part of Roy Hodgson’s thoughts, although the England boss’ captain Wayne Rooney – who, by contrast, has scored five times in the league this season – has been the first-choice striker in recent internationals.
