“Pochettino's a great manager, and he puts a lot of trust in young English players.”

“I haven't changed. I'm still the same boy, and I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing.”

“When I was at MK Dons, I played all the games in centre midfield, so it's not like it's new to me.”

“I used to run 800 metres for the school.”

“Do you need an aggressive streak to thrive? You could say that. A lot of the great players have that mentality.”

“MK has got a special place in my heart, but obviously, I have signed to Tottenham.”

“I'm going to keep working hard, and I will be happy to play anywhere for the country. I'm young and would like to play anywhere.”

“Aggression is something that is a part of me, and I'm never going to take that out of my game.”

“My personality is that I like to express myself, and that is not something I will look to change.”

“I'd love to play for Spurs and play at White Hart Lane. It won't be easy, and I'll have fight for my place in the team, but I'll work hard to do that.”

“It's a big jump from League One, but I'm confident in my ability, and I can't thank the players enough for how they've helped me settle in and for the way I'm performing.”

“Things always change in football, and you can never predict anything.”

“I'm just going to keep working hard on and off the training field.”

“Obviously, being from MK and playing for MK my whole life, to get us promoted would be a dream come true.”

“I think confidence is a big part of it. Also luck - the ball has got to fall for you in the right time and the right place.”

“I've always thrived under the pressure of the big games. I enjoy that, and there's nothing I get afraid about.”

“I like to enjoy the game and to have fun and express myself as much as I can.”

“That's the big thing for youngsters. When you go, you don't want a manager that's not going to have any trust in young players.”

“Steven Gerrard was someone I looked up to massively. I'd always try to copy him, right down to the boots he was wearing. It was his attitude on the pitch that stood out - you could really see how much he hated losing.”

“It's all about being professional. You can't be dwelling on mistakes.”
