Strakosha is highly-rated in Italy

Pochettino, however, has refused to criticise the Frenchman and confirmed he will retain his starting place against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.He is my captain, Pochettino told the media.

Its a situation that is so painful because I think we deserved more (at Liverpool), but in that kind of situation, which happens in football, its only to be strong and back our player.I think Hugo is going to be, like always, great for us. He was great for us. He was so important in all that process in five years, and for sure hes going to be one of the most important players for the future of the club too.
