Palace signing Fryers: I never spoke to Pochettino

Crystal Palace signing Zeki Fryers has revealed he was blanked by his former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino.

Fryers believes Palace is the right fit for him.

"It felt good the gaffer Neil Warnock wanted me, I just wanted to get out and play some games so I am hoping to do that here," the 22-year-old told the Croydon Advertiser.

"Spurs were a great club but the opportunities didn't come as much as I'd like there. I felt it was time for me to elsewhere to show what I can do.

"I felt like I wasn't going to be part of the setup at Tottenham. Mauricio Pochettino didn't speak to me about the plans but I wasn't involved in the first few games.

"I had a good pre-season but I felt it was my time to move on."
