Mauricio Pochettino hailed Dele Alli as the best young player in Europe after Tottenham Hotspur's 4-0 win over Watford on Saturday and described the midfielder as like a "son."
Alli, who turns 21 on Tuesday, scored a stunning opener in Tottenham's win at White Hart Lane, taking him to 16 Premier League goals for the campaign and 19 in all competitions.
The England international has now been involved in 40 Premier League goals since joining Spurs from MK Dons -- the same number that Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard and David Beckham had managed combined before their 21st birthdays.
