The Tottenham Hotspur manager is a popular figure amongst the players.

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino addressed the media today, ahead of his side’s clash with Fulham at Wembley Stadium on Saturday, and shared with reporters what Dele Alli told him when he attempted the England international’s new goal celebration, as quoted by Football.London.

The 22-year-old started an internet craze on Saturday, after scoring his side’s winning goal against Newcastle, with fans up and down the country attempting to emulate the England international.

Dele has become well-renowned during his time in the game for his extravagant celebrations, and his latest offering was no different…

Reporters asked Pochettino today whether he himself has tried to emulate the Tottenham star’s unique celebration, and the Argentine responded in confident manner, as quoted by Football.London:

“I tried one time and it was perfect! He said ‘fantastic, that’s why you’re the boss’ that’s what he said to me.”

Spurs have received heavy criticism this summer, having failed to sign a single player during the summer transfer window, but that doesn’t seem to have dampened the mood amongst the players.

And if they are to have nay chance of enjoying a successful campaign this season, Dele will need to be showing off his famous celebration on a consistent basis between now and May.
