Ben Davies reveals Ryan Mason's simple message to Tottenham squad and his Pedro Porro verdict

Ben Davies has revealed that Tottenham acting head coach Ryan Mason has given the squad a rather simple message after replacing Cristian Stellini at the helm.

Intent on putting an end to their mixed run of form and securing a European berth for next season, Davies has revealed that his former Spurs teammate has made it clear to the team that he wants them "to be as good as we can with the ball and tighten it up without it".
