Arsene Wenger has heaped praise on Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino

Pochettino’s men looked like they could catch leaders Leicester in the race for the Premier League title.

However a dramatic collapse in their final four games saw Spurs fall away, and Arsenal eventually snatched second place from their north London rivals. 

But Tottenham’s progress this term hasn’t gone unnoticed, and Gunners boss Wenger revealed he has been impressed with how Spurs have improved.

Wenger told beIN Sports: “Pochettino has given his team a great dynamic, they play attractive football, he has given his team a style and given belief to Tottenham again.

My worst day as manager, says Pochettino

“They can win the league again. That’s a remarkable achievement. He’s one of the promising, hard-working managers in the Premier League.

“Tottenham had a very good season. But they were very close to us. That means the expectation is so high for us that it’s difficult to please people.”
