"It's a club that bets on the young and I think I'm going to have a chance to play," he said.
"I also spoke with Mauricio Pochettino and I liked what he said. It's what helped me decide that Tottenham was the right place to continue my career.
"He told me to go, train and, if I deserved it, that I would play. He also told me what the club was like and what his work ethic was."
