​Pochettino: Alli is a very special Tottenham player

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he's happy with the form of his team at the minute, but reserved plaudits for England international Dele Alli.

"I think he is a very special player and something different. He is Dele Alli and it is difficult to compare," Pochettino said.

"I think his potential is still massive. He has a big gap to improve and learn.

"He's showing now, in the present, unbelievable qualities and putting in great performances. He's one of the best players in the Premier League."
