Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is delighted with the training ground form of Pape Matar Sarr.

Sarr has been linked with a loan move away this month.

But Conte says: "To work with Pape Sarr, he played in the World Cup but then he came back two weeks before and worked with us. I think Pape Sarr is a really good prospect and I like the two weeks we worked after the World Cup with him.

"It was the same for (Bryan) Gil and we exploited this time to work with Skippy (Oliver Skipp) again, because Skippy is another player that last season in my first two, three months he helped me and helped a lot the team.

"Then he had an injury and he stopped work. It was good for me to work again with him and put him under a bit of pressure under the tactical aspect and physical aspect on his body and mind.

"Also Harvey White was a good surprise because we are talking about a young player, but really, really clever, a player that I can ask him to play in every position and he is good to do it.

"I think it was positive to exploit this time. Also it was good to bring Doherty in a good physical condition after a serious injury. It was the same for Japhet Tanganga, because don't forgot it was the same for him, he had a lot of problems with his knee. But during the Christmas period we worked with him and for this reason I gave him the opportunity to play because he deserved his chance. We tried to exploit this period during the World Cup to know much better the young players and work more with them."
