This is the dream XI Tottenham could have had come Deadline Day

GK: Hugo Lloris

No change here! Despite the addition of Spanish ‘keeper, Pau Lopez on loan from Espanyol, no Spurs fan would put anyone in over their French shot-stopper.

If Pochettino’s side are to improve upon last season’s title challenge, whether that be domestically or on the continent, the then their captain will once again have to be on top form throughout.
