Clement on Mauricio, Tom Carroll and tonight's game

Former PSG, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich assistant manager Clement took the top job with the Swans at the turn of the year following the departure of Bob Bradley, who had been in charge when we beat the South Wales side 5-0 at White Hart Lane in December.

Since then, he's overseen victories against the likes of Liverpool, Southampton, Leicester City and Burnley, with ex-Spur Gylfi Sigurdsson in fine form in support of Spanish international striker Fernando Llorente.

However, the 45-year-old was full of praise for opposite number Mauricio ahead of this evening's clash.

“(Spurs) have been challenging for the last couple of seasons and Mauricio Pochettino has done a really good job,” he said.
