Kieran Trippier on Mauricio Pochettino's prank

He called me in and said ‘I know what you did last night’.

I thought I was in trouble even though I didn’t do anything. He scared me and brought in Hugo, the captain. I thought ‘did I do something last night? No I didn’t’.

He then said - congratulations, you have been called into England. I was delighted for my mum and phoned my parents straight away as they have done a lot of hard work to get me where I am.

Jermain Defoe on Harry Kane

It’s not easy to score goals in the Premier League.

The league is so strong, home and away, so to score three 20s on the trot…I just think he’s in the perfect team, no team is going to create more chances and dominate games like Spurs.

If there is one team to be at right now, it’s Spurs and with ‘H’, I said ages ago he was a finisher.

I said to the guys how good he was and if he got the chance, he would score goals. I’m not surprised with how well he’s done. That team creates chances and give him a chance and he’ll score.

That hard work has got him to where’s got so far, sheer hard work, just wanting to score goals, that’s someone who just loves to score goals.

Eric Dier on the season

It’s been a great season. I think obviously we’re disappointed we didn’t reach our main objective which was to finish in first place and win the Premier League, but I think as a whole we can look at the season as a positive.

We’ve improved a lot on last season (2015-16) in terms of the Premier League, obviously there are things that we can still improve on and definitely next season we’ll be looking to do a lot better in the Champions League as well. But overall I think it’s been a positive season.

I think this group and this team and this club wants to keep improving and keep striving to do even better than we are at the moment. That’s always the objective.

Reported Spurs target Christian Pulisic on the Premier League

It was the biggest league I followed as a kid and watched. The league has a lot of players, and teams, I liked in the Premier League.

Right now, it is not something I am looking to get into immediately or anything like that. I am happy at Dortmund and I am excited for the rest of my career.
