Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino believes he and Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood share the same approach to young players.

Sherwood returns to White Hart Lane this weekend.

"I think that we share the same idea, we believe in the young talent," Pochettino said. "This is great, like when I started my career as a manager at Espanyol in Barcelona.

"We believe it was the same things, to encourage and develop the young talent.

"I think the legacy is to believe in the young talent and he shared the job with other people, like (academy manager) John McDermott and all the staff in the academy, Les Ferdinand, Chris Ramsey.

"All people deserve some credit for the young players arriving in the first team."
