It’s a welcome break from the usual slog of wading through fictitious transfer rumours, to dwell on some talent we’ve already signed.
Spurs paid Standard Liège €3.5m for him, and at 21 of age he’s looks a prime candidate to be a player for Pochettino to work his magic on.
We’ve seen relatively little of the Manchester born lad, he’s only made 7 Premier League appearances, 2 under AVB and 5 under Sherwood.
I’ve made the point before, and I’ll make it again. He looks to me like a guy who wants to be a professional footballer, not just look like one.
I’ve been involved in some important games in Europe this season and I’ve enjoyed the experience.
I remember getting the assist for Ade’s winning goal when we came back to beat Dnipro at home – that was a great moment.I remember I switched it to him, he took it down and slotted it past the keeper. He’s really shown what it takes this season.
Then we had that tough game in Portugal with Sandro and I at the back. We obviously weren’t used to playing there together but we just got on with it and concentrated, focused and it felt like I’d played there with him for a long time.
I think I can now take all these positives into next season and see what happens.”
