Dele Alli is relishing playing under Mauricio Pochettino when he begins his career at Tottenham Hotspur next season.

The 19-year-old secured a £5m switch to Spurs in January, but was immediately loaned back to MK Dons for the remainder of the campaign as part of the deal.

Alli has admitted that he is excited at the prospect of working with the Argentine after being impressed with faith the Spurs boss has shown in young players during his time in the Premier League.

He told Sky Sports News: "When you go, you don't want a manager that's not going to have any trust in young players.

"I think with him you can see already that he has a lot of faith in youngsters and I think as a young player you need that, just for confidence in yourself.

"You need a manager that believes in you and shows that he believes in you by playing you."

Alli has scored 16 goals in 41 appearances for MK Dons in all competitions this season.
