Stoke City v Tottenham preview

Tottenham have reinforced the centre of their midfield by bringing in Moussa Sissoko from Newcastle United and Kenyan enforcer Victor Wanyama from Southampton, while Christian Eriksen ended speculation about his future by signing a new contract.

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.

Son Heung-min found the net either side of halftime after fine interplay with Christian Eriksen before England duo Dele Alli and Kane scored two more as Spurs went fourth in the standings.

“I see a great future”. The Potters had started the game in good form with Glenn Whelan’s deflected volley whistling off target after a quarter of an hour. “We’re very pleased for him”.

“After our performance and our victory – it was a fantastic 4-0 – we all believed it would be possible to win the league, yes”.

The France no.1 keeper has missed the north Londoners last two Premier League games after suffering a hamstring injury during the opening-day draw at Everton.

“I wasn’t anxious about that”, he said. In 33 Premier League appearances last season he scored six goals and set up 13 as the club finished third.

“That was the disappointment, it wasn’t easy to get messages down to the team but that’s not the reason why we got beat”.

Stoke City 3 (Adam, N’zonzi, Vertonghen), Tottenham 0, Premier League, May 2015.

“I always dreamed of playing in England and I watched a lot of Premier League football previous year, including Tottenham games”.

“I think it’s a very good group of people, very good players who connect with each other, staff, who connect with the players”.

“We all have an idea of where we want to end, and hopefully we’ll achieve that”.

“Sometimes you are happy with your decisions, sometimes you feel very bad about your decisions”.

However, the player himself has insisted that he always wanted to stay put at Spurs, who begin their Champions League campaign next week.
