Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has praised midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg.

The Italian is hugely impressed with the defensive midfielder, who put in a colossus display as they defeated Leeds United 2-1 at home last weekend.

Conte was full of praise for 26-year-old Denmark international Hjobjerg, who was a Jose Mourinho signing.

Conte told Tottenham's official website: "He's a warrior and he understood that 1-1, it's not enough for us.

"Today (Sunday), it was important to win."

Hojbjerg has two goals and one assist this term.
