Mauricio Pochettino heaps praise on Steven Davis from Rangers

Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has heaped praise on the Rangers midfielder Steven Davis.

The experienced midfielder joined Rangers in 2019 and he has been a useful option for Steven Gerrard since then.

The 35-year-old has worked with Pochettino at Southampton and the Argentine manager has now hailed the midfielder’s footballing intelligence and technical ability.

Pochettino also hailed the midfielder for his professionalism and attitude.

The former Spurs boss likened him to the Barcelona stars Xavi and Iniesta. While there is no doubt that he is not as good as the World Cup winning duo, he plays a similar role for Rangers.
