Dele Alli has insisted manager Mauricio Pochettino is the reason for his swift emergence as one English football's best and brightest after just two full seasons in the Premier League.
The England international joined Pochettino's Spurs from MK Dons for £5million in 2015 and has since seen his career flourish under Pochettino's watch, helping Spurs to successive top four finishes and emerging as an England regular.
However, while much of his progress is down to raw talent and determination to succeed, the 21-year-old praised Pochettino for the impact he has had on the youngster's career.
