Tottenham's new set piece coach Gianni Vio is making such an impression on the players that Dejan Kulusevski told him three times on Saturday that he deserves a pay rise and Harry Kane has also praised the Italian.
The former Italy, AC Milan, Leeds and Brentford coach was brought in by Antonio Conte this summer to vastly improve the club's set piece options. Vio has designed 4,830 different attacking set piece scenarios which he adapts to the players at his disposal and he was lauded at Euro 2020 for his impact as Italy won the tournament.
Spurs scored just eight league goals from set-pieces last season, which was only five more than relegated Norwich, who scored the least, and 13 fewer than champions Manchester City, who scored the most.
