Gazzaniga was at Southampton under Mauricio Pochettino, and says he is happy to be linking up with him again at Spurs.

He said: 'They used to work how I like, always pushing you to try to be the best and take you to compete at the maximum level.

'I am very happy because I like that kind of work, because I want to keep getting better.'
