Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino praised Spurs midfielder Dele Alli on Wednesday by stating the England international has the potential to become better than Barcelona superstar Neymar.
Dan Kilpatrick of ESPN passed along comments from the Tottenham boss made to BeIN Sports about the 21-year-old rising star:
I think Dele Alli has a completely different personality to Neymar. I think he's a special player too. I don't know if he's in this level yet—but the potential will be to be like him or better.
I think Dele is an unbelievable player, great player, still very young and his potential is massive.
