Gary Neville: 'Tottenham Hotspur work ethic improving under Mauricio Pochettino'

Former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville believes that Tottenham Hospur are working harder under head coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has changed their "culture".

Former Manchester United right-back Gary Neville has suggested that Tottenham Hotspur are working harder under head coach Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs are currently sixth in the Premier League after winning their last three fixtures, and Neville believes that the team are reaping the rewards of a culture change brought about by the former Southampton manager.

"If you look at what he's done, he's transformed the team and definitely got a better bunch of lads," Neville told Sky Sports News. "With Tottenham, the average age is 23 which is the youngest in the league and he's not just transforming a team there, he's transforming a culture.

"It's a culture of being a bit flimsy. You'd never say they were the hardest-working team in the league. You'd say they're a bit weak and he's trying to transform that.

"They're going with a more balanced approach and there are certainly signs now that Pochettino is having an effect. I don't think he's got the best team in the world and I don't think they'll finish in the top four. But you just have to look at the work ethic in winning the ball back."

Tottenham will take on Monaco in the Europa League on Thursday evening.
