DAVIDS: I LOVE POCH’S SPURS

- BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA

TOTTENHAM are impossible not to love, according to former favourite Edgar Davids.

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has transforme­d the club into title contenders during his time in charge.

They finished runners-up last season but a failure to add to their squad so far this summer has led to doubts about their chances of going one better in the forthcomin­g campaign.

However, former midfielder Davids reckons Spurs have plenty going for them, on and off the pitch, ahead of the big kick-off against Newcastle on Sunday.

The Dutchman said: “I’m happy Spurs have the culture of a top side, starting with the state-ofthe-art training facility. That’s what it is. It’s unbelievab­le.

“When you go there, you want to train! You want to work! It inspires greatness. It motivates you.

“It’s no coincidenc­e that everything is coming together and they’ve had a couple of unbelievab­le seasons in the Premier League.

“It’s not a one-off. Spurs are at that level and that’s why I’m so proud of the club. They have created that culture.

“I like this team a lot. When I see this team play, I see fun, I see youth and enthusiasm – football on the edge.

“They have fun and they are big, big talents. How can you not love this team?

“It’s young and fresh. I love it!”
