Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino rates the Premier League the most competitive in the world.

The former Espanyol manager's year and a half with Southampton should prove invaluable.

He said: "When I stayed in Spain, I said, 'England, it's OK, the league. It's competitive, yes.'

"But, when you arrive, you say, 'Ooh, it's hard - it's very hard'. And, after, you realise that it's the most competitive league."
