Five players made their Premier League debuts for Tottenham Hotspur in 2017/18

Kyle Walker-Peters
Davinson Sanchez
Serge Aurier
Fernando Llorent
Paulo Gazzaniga

Spurs, a club at the cutting edge of sports science. “Without a doubt this is the fittest Spurs side I’ve known. You take someone like Harry Kane, who was on loan at Norwich and was essentially on the wrong side of 15 per cent body fat. Then over quite a short period of time he suddenly knuckled down, lost all the fat and got down to round about 10 per cent and now he’s banging in the goals left, right and centre. Then they’re saying: “You’re not going on loan anymore!”…I played a big part in that, but I would add that he has his own helper as well. In the last couple of years he started on a whole load of different things with him, an old friend of his who knows a bit about it all. He’s started Harry on a few things that were things I wanted to start the whole squad on anyway. It was a help rather than a hindrance.”

– Lovell, Spurs former nutritionist for 7 years. He went on to mention that Eriksen and Dier also making headways after proper nutrition.

GAZZANIGA
Paulo Gazzaniga says making his Tottenham Hotspur debut today at Wembley was “emotional.”

Gazzaniga: “Every time you play for the first time at a club it’s very important and emotional too. (I was) nervous just in the beginning, and then after that you get the atmosphere and team-mates help you so it’s fantastic.”

TRIPPIER
Kieran Trippier has the best minutes/assists record in the Premier League since August 2015.

Trippier : 165.7
De Bruyne : 176.3
Ozil : 218.4
D. Silva : 221.2
Payet : 226.9
Eriksen : 234.3

ERIKSEN
Pochettino on Eriksen: “When you see the goals [for Denmark], unbelievable. But I don’t want to publicise him too much. You know what happens. The manager puts him in the focus for other clubs. I don’t want to say he’s a fantastic player. Ok, he’s an average player.”

Christian Eriksen has revealed that Spurs players want to sign new long-term contracts because of the current stability at the club.

Hattrick vs Ireland to Qualify for World Cup :

The 21-year-old’s career began in Colombia when he was discovered by Juan Carlos Osorio, current coach of Mexico.

“I know him very well. I was coaching Nacional in Colombia, who are from Medellin. After winning a title we moved to Cali and I was invited to play football – which enjoy to do so with my friends – and I noticed this guy, and I really liked what I saw. So at the end of the day and I asked him, that was Davinson, if he wanted to join (Atletico) National. He was 17. The only thing was he was playing as a central midfielder, and I said to him, ‘I can see you have the qualities to play as a central defender’. He accepted the challenge and then he went to Medellin. We trained him for two years with the first team and at 19 we gave him his debut.”

…on his move to Ajax

“I remember him calling me and asking if he should go to Ajax or Barcelona, who were also interested. I just thought the best thing for him was to play football, and maybe in Barcelona he would not get playing time, he would be a sub. That is what he decided to do and then he went to Holland. He played a very good season and Tottenham decided to go for him.”

…on his move to Spurs

“[We have called] a couple of times. We still have a good relationship. He is very happy at the club, and the playing has made him a better player already. With Vertonghen and Alderweireld, two central defenders of that calibre, they have made him improve as well, so I think he’s enjoying all that. He’s at a very top club as it is. In the future I think it will all depend on him and how serious he trains from now on. Based on his age the future is bright. He can play at a very high level.”

– we top club siol!
