Tottenham are flying high in fourth place in the Premier League table, which is a feat many Spurs fans would have thought was beyond their team at the start of the season.

But Mauricio Pochettino's young side is undoubtedly on the up as not only a place in the top-four is within their sights but also a potential tilt at the title.

The north Londoners' have added a defensive steel to their high-pressing game this term and finally appear to have rid themselves of the 'soft' centre that curtailed their progress in recent campaigns.

Part of Tottenham's development can be attributed to the form of Harry Kane, who has delivered an emphatic 'no' to those who asked whether he would be a one-season wonder.

The sparkling start Dele Alli has made to his career at White Hart Lane should also not be overlooked but it is clear several long-standing members of the side have pulled their socks up and improved this season.

Eric Dier has shone in a new midfield role and Mousa Dembele, who was rewarded with a new long-term contract today, has provided a powerful presence in the centre of the park.

Kyle Walker and Danny Rose have both taken steps towards fulfilling their potential while Jan Vertonghen was finally producing consistent performances prior to his untimely injury.

Even Erik Lamela, who has linked with a move away from Spurs in the summer, has found his shooting boots to become a vital cog in the side's attacking midfield trio.

But which Spurs player do you think has improved the most this season? Have your say in Standard Sport's poll below:
