DeAndre Yedlin left Tottenham Hotspur for Newcastle United in the summer of 2016.
Yedlin joined Tottenham from Seattle Sounders FC in January 2015, although a deal between the two clubs was agreed in the summer of 2014.
The USA international right-back, though, failed to make an impact at Tottenham and was able to make only one appearance in the Premier League for the North London outfit.
After spending the 2015-16 season on loan at Sunderland, the 24-year-old defender moved to Newcastle United in the summer of 2016 for a transfer fee reported by The Daily Mail to be worth £5 million.
Yedlin, who earns £30,000 per week according to Spotrac.com, seems to rate Tottenham manager Pochettino despite not getting too many chances under him at Spurs.
The USA international right-back told The Sun: “I have nothing bad to say about Mauricio Pochettino. He’s been great for Spurs and tactically he’s a genius.”
Quality manager
Pochettino is one of the best managers in the world and has taken Tottenham to an entire new level since being appointed in the role back in the summer of 2014.
Spurs are finishing in the top four of the Premier League regularly now and are also playing in the Champions League season after season.
