Tottenham Hotspur defender Davinson Sanchez insists that manager Mauricio Pochettino has been an influential figure for him, and has shown him videos with the aim of improving him.
The 21-year-old, who arrived in England last summer has gone on to establish himself as one of the favourites for the Argentine boss at the heart of the defence, notching up a total of 43 appearances.
His performances have not gone unnoticed, with the player being rewarded with a new contract that will keep him in London at least until the summer of 2024.
The player on his part thanked all his team-mates for assisting his transition process, particularly the defenders.
Pochettino's influence has been another critical one for the Colombian, who insists that as the manager was defender himself while a player, he has shown him a lot of videos on how to improve.

“I’ve enjoyed it so much this season because I have quality team-mates, I have quality staff guiding me and I have a quality training ground to work at”, Sanchez told his club's official website.
“I’ve learned so much from everyone, not just from the other centre-backs like Jan [Vertonghen], like Toby [Alderweireld], Juan [Foyth], and also Victor [Wanyama] and Eric Dier when they play in this position but I pick up things from every player and of course from the gaffer.
“He was a defender, he’s shown me a lot of videos on how to improve and I can say okay, the gaffer is close to me because every time he tries to show me the best way to play, I try to do what he is thinking.
"For me, Tottenham was a big step but now I enjoy everything.”
The focus for the youngster though now turns to international football where he will represent his country in the World Cup in Russia next month.
