was highly important.

“Obviously last season [with West Ham] was very disappointing. We were involved in a relegation so it was quite difficult, even though we played some good stuff.
I was involved in that so it was quite disappointing. But coming to Spurs now and being where we are in the league and doing as well as we are things are very good.”
