Holtby asks for patience as Tottenham continue to gel

Tottenham midfielder Lewis Holtby has called for patience as the new-look squad continues to adapt.

Spurs brought in a number of new players in the summer and are taking a little while to gel together but German international Holtby is confident that everyone will soon head in the same direction after an indifferent beginning to the new campaign.

"This is a new team, we have bought a lot of players and you need to give them time - people like [Erik] Lamela, who don't speak the English language," he told reporters.

"Every game it is coming, we will get to know each other better and better. We are doing an OK job but we are getting there. I hope we can get a winning streak now."
