LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino has likened Dele Alli to a "wild horse" but says he has no plans to tame the Tottenham Hotspur stallion.
Alli scored 10 goals and was named PFA Young Player of the Year in a stunning debut season at White Hart Lane but his brilliance was tempered by a fiery unpredictability, and he was also booked 10 times.
He scored a breathtaking goal and was accused of stamping on Yohan Cabaye in Spurs' 3-1 win at Crystal Palace in January, while Pochettino said Alli had "a lot to learn about elite football" after he appeared to kick Fiorentina's Nenad Tomovic the following month.
