Swansea City's Tom Carroll thriving under Paul Clement

Tom Carroll reckons life under Mauricio Pochettino has made him a better player - and feels he is primed to thrive in Paul Clement's Swansea City side.

Carroll ended a 16-year association with Tottenham Hotspur by signing for the Swans during the January transfer window.

The 24-year-old looked to have established himself at White Hart Lane after clocking up 30 appearances for Pochettino's impressive Spurs side last season.

But having seen his first-team opportunities dry up in this campaign, Carroll felt the time was right to rejoin the Swans, the club he had previously played for on loan.

And while the midfielder learned a lot from Pochettino, he is now loving his time at the Liberty under head coach Clement.

"Mauricio Pochettino is a good guy and a top manager," Carroll says. 

"I think he has helped me improve as a player. The work they do both in the gym and on the training field at Tottenham has made me a better player.

"I can only thank him for that, but the head coach here at Swansea has been great, too. I have really enjoyed his sessions.

"I have been really impressed by him. He has a great reputation having worked at some top clubs around Europe and what he has done on the training pitch with the lads has been really good. 

"I think all the players are enjoying playing for him."

He discusses his eye-catching running stats, that cross at Liverpool and the awful injury suffered by an old mate at Spurs, Ryan Mason.
