Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has spoken highly of defender Danny Rose to The Telegraph.

According to The Telegraph, Rose was expected to leave Tottenham in the summer transfer window.

The 28-year-old left-back was able to make just nine starts in the Premier League for Spurs last season, but the England international has already made seven starts in the league this campaign, according to WhoScored.

Tottenham manager Pochettino has raved about Rose, but he has also suggested why the England international needs to stop doing.

Pochettino told The Telegraph about Rose: “There is no doubt about Danny Rose’s quality, there is no doubt. He is a great player.”

The Spurs boss added: “He needs to stop thinking. Sometimes he tries to think for us too. He spends too much energy thinking about everything. He needs to arrive here and stop thinking.”

Important player

Rose is not guaranteed a place in the Tottenham starting lineup at the moment, but the England international remains an important player in manager Mauricio Pochettino’s team.

With Spurs challenging for the Premier League and also competing in the Champions League, the 28-year-old left-back will be an important player for the North London outfit in the coming weeks and months.

Tottenham will take on Everton away from home at Goodison Park in the Premier League on Sunday evening.
