Wenger: Pochettino's Tottenham like my Arsenal at our best

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is full of praise for Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham.

Wenger calls himself an Arsenal fan now and is desperate not to offend successor Unai Emery, but he had to concede it's Tottenham who lead the way when asked if Pochettino was the current boss closest to his own winning methods.

He said: “Tottenham have a good, young generation. They have a core of young players such as (Harry) Winks, (Harry) Kane, Dele Alli and (Eric) Dier like we had at Arsenal.

“Man United had it too, with their Giggs, Scholes, Beckham and Butt generation, but now they (Tottenham) have established a good, basic platform to develop from.

“Tottenham's players are maturing too so it will be interesting to see how they develop."
