Tottenham icon Graham Roberts has taken to Twitter to react after stumbling across a tweet involving Kylian Mbappé, Harry Kane and Mauricio Pochettino.

A Twitter account posted a meme showing an edited photo of Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond on Top Gear, with Kane and Mbappé’s faces photoshopped in.

You can see the tweet below.

It was nothing more than a jokey tweet suggesting that Pochettino has upgraded his striker since taking the job at the Parc des Princes.

However, Roberts didn’t sound too happy with it, branding the tweet as a ‘bizarre post’ after seeing it on his timeline last night.

You can see what the Tottenham icon said about the tweet below.

In our view, Pochettino hasn’t necessarily upgraded as Kane is also one of Europe’s best alongside Mbappé.

However, you can’t deny that it’s exciting to see what the Argentine could do with the France international given his previous work with young players.

Pochettino helped develop the likes of Luke Shaw at Southampton, before going on to coax world-class form out of a young Dele Alli.

At just 21 years of age, the Spurs No.20 scored 18 Premier League goals under the former Espanyol manager’s guidance in 2016/17.

There’s a genuine possibility that Mbappé becomes even better with Pochettino at the helm, a point reinforced by his hat-trick against Barcelona last night.
