Asked why it had taken so long for Spurs to complete the £10.9million signing of winger Georges-Kevin Nkoudou from Marseille having agreed a fee and terms over a month previously, Pochettino insisted there had been issues to resolve.
Nethercott, who made more than fifty appearances for the White Hart Lane club, continued: “I don’t think Spurs are firing on all cylinders yet”.
“Another day, another time, you can’t improve”, added Pochettino, “but in this game it was flawless and I think we fully deserved the result”.
Loan spells with QPR and Aston Villa helped his development, but according to The Sun, he’s now ready to commit his long-term future to Spurs by following Christian Eriksen in signing a new deal this summer. “It’s always a pleasure to spend time with him with the national team and now we can spend more time with each other here, so I’m happy about that”.
Defeat for Stoke left them rooted to the foot of the Premier League table and without a clean sheet in 14 league games.
“Then in the second half, in our set-piece from a corner, they scored and it was a draw and we felt very disappointed, then it was Chelsea”.
The Denmark International had been in talks over a new deal for well over a year and boss Pochettino believes it could have affected his performances.
“Starting Saturday we have seven games in 20 days and a insane schedule until Christmas”. We’ve bought some great players in who have fitted in perfectly.
“Every game is a challenge, our next challenge is Monaco at Wembley and then Sunderland”.
Harry Kane had a good day today.
It has taken the 23-year-old four games to score this year, which is earlier than everyone expected.
Pochettino has revealed new signing Moussa Sissoko could feature at the bet365 Stadium this time around following his deadline-day arrival from Newcastle.
