Tottenham Boss Lavishes Praise On Nigerian DM After Shining Vs Roma : He Has A Lot Of Quality
Published: July 26, 2018
Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino has lavished praise on young Nigerian midfielder Luke Amos in the wake of his brilliant performance in their 4-1 hammering of AS Roma on Thursday morning.
Spurs dominated the midfield against their Italian opponents mainly due to the work of Amos, who played as a holding midfielder and was able to close down the strikers and knew when to go forward.
When asked if Amos could follow in the footsteps of Ryan Mason, who broke into the first team after starring on a tour of the United States, Pochettino told reporters : ''Yes but I don’t want to say there is a similarity with the feeling I got with Ryan. But Luke played very well and he still needs to work hard.
"I thought he and all our midfielders who came on the pitch showed an amazing energy.

''I am so happy we have these types of players who are always willing to work so hard and keep running.
''Luke has a lot of quality. He needs to work hard to find the opportunity to play. But I am so proud of his performance and that of all our midfielders''.
Amos, who was in action for 84 minutes against Roma, has spent time on loan at Southend United and, most recently, Stevenage.
