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

LB: Danny Rose

There is no change across the entire defensive setup in the summer’s dream team, and why would there be? Danny Rose completes what was the joint best back line last season, with only Man United matching the 35 goals conceded by Pochettino’s side.

Like his compatriot in the other full-back slot, the 26-year-old came away from the European Championships fairly unscathed in comparison to his teammates.

The psychological effect may still be the same, however, the left-back stepped up to the plate in a way no-one expected over the last term, it looks as if he will continue in that vein over the next nine months or so.
