Tottenham players must forget transfer rumours and summer holidays and focus on Premier League title bid, warns Mauricio Pochettino

Mauricio Pochettino has told his players to train their focus on the present and urged Tottenham fans to trust the club to secure the future.

Pochettino used the sudden death of Spurs coach Ugo Ehiogu on the training ground last week at the age of 44 as good reason to live in the moment.

He sent a clear message to his squad to clear their minds of summer holidays and transfer rumours and to win their next six games, starting at Crystal Palace on Wednesday, and push Chelsea for the Premier League title.

'Not only Dele, I cannot guarantee nothing in life,' said Pochettino, when asked about reports of Manchester City's interest in Tottenham's England midfielder Dele Alli.
