Pochettino warns new signing Dele Alli he must calm down

TOTTENHAM manager Mauricio Pochettino has told Liverpool fan Dele Alli to 'calm down' and keep a level head following his £5m move to the Premier League.

The 18-year-old is back on loan with MK Dons after signing a deal with Tottenham that will bring him to White Hart Lane in the summer, but until then Pochettino is keen not to get carried away about a player who has already been described as 'the new Steven Gerrard'.

Pochettino said: "We believe in him. As a club we decided to sign him. He is a good player for the future. And now he is our player. We will analyse him but he is a good signing for the future.

"For now, he needs to stay calm and play for is team like before. When the time comes for him to come to work with Tottenham he will be ready. I think he is a very good signing for us.

Was he wearing a shell suit and a bubble perm wig and a fake moustache at the time?

Anyone see his performance tonight? I see he scored.

EDIT: Scrub that, see there's a thread in loanwatch!

He's a good lad and chuffed to be coming here.
Daughter was chatting with him and said he's just happy to be coming here.

Also chuffed to be getting 15k a week now I'd imagine! He's apparently going to treat himself to a Range Rover Sport :)

Does that mean you get a cut of the development fee? Surely you've kicked a ball with him at some stage....
I wish lol.
We kicked a few balls in the garden, just hope he makes it with us, he deserves it.
Worked really hard to get where he is today.

That's what my mate said, been raving about him since he was 13 and said he's always worked really hard to improve.

Does your mate play with MK?
I know Deli joined MK with another lad, not quite sure if the other lad still plays with MK.

He joined at the same time as Harry Hickford... Pretty sure Dele lives/lived with Harry and his family from a young age.

Harry plays more for the development team but has had a few loans to league 1 and 2 teams.

Thanks
Yes and his family were really good to Deli.
Glad to hear the young lads still with them.

Jezz - My friends son Luke is the same age and I'm sure they both used to be at Luton before joining MK. Luke is still in development team but has played for the first team. He's also Darren Gough's cousin lol
