World Cup

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino insists that having eight players competing in the final four of the World Cup can only be a good thing for the club.

Mauricio Pochettino has admitted that he feels "very proud" of the impact Tottenham Hotspur players have made at the World Cup in Russia.

Spurs had eight players in the semi-finals - more than any other club - mainly due to England's run deep into the quadrennial competition.

Skipper Hugo Lloris still remains, with France taking on Croatia in Sunday's final, and Pochettino insists that it can only be good news for Tottenham as a whole to have a strong representation in Russia.

"That is a very good signal for us, that we are doing a fantastic job here at Tottenham," he told Spurs TV. "I think all the fans and us, we feel very proud about the performance and behaviour from our players at the World Cup."

Tottenham, who have yet to make any summer signings, begin their pre-season campaign with a friendly against Roma on July 26.
