Tottenham midfielder Wanyama: Pochettino unique

Tottenham midfielder Victor Wanyama is delighted to be playing again for Mauricio Pochettino this season.

The Kenyan midfielder initially joined Mauricio at Southampton in a move from Celtic in July, 2013, before hooking up again with the manager at Spurs last summer.

"I'd never had a manager who wants you to improve day by day like him," he told the Spurs website. “He works on your weakness, he's a good role model and he doesn't just look at football, but life in general.

“He teaches you about life, how to live with people and that was amazing to me. We worked hard and after a while, you could see the difference because in the games I felt like the games were easier and we could run for 100 minutes because we were fitter. It worked well for us."
