Tottenham star Son Heung-min has given an insight into how the dressing room at Spurs is currently coping with the pressure facing Jose Mourinho. Tottenham had started the season in good form following a summer transfer overhaul.
Daniel Levy opened the chequebook to bring in seven new signings to bolster Mourinho's squad.
Sergio Reguilon and Pierre-Emile Hojberg quickly established themselves as first-team regulars while Joe Rodon has also proven to be an astute piece of business.
Heading into the festive period, Spurs were in a position where they were being considered as possible title contenders with both Harry Kane and Son hitting top form in front of goal.
But results have dropped off over the past few months with Tottenham winning just four of their last 14 league matches.

Their 3-0 defeat against Manchester City at the weekend was Spurs' fourth loss in five games with Mourinho coming under increasing pressure to turn things around.
Reports emerged earlier this week that Mourinho had lost control of the dressing room with players said to be undermining his authority as Tottenham sit ninth in the table.
However, Son has furiously denied any conflict inside the dressing room, batting off speculation over Mourinho's future as "bad rumours".
“The rumours are just rumours. Our changing room has been fantastic,” Son said.
“Obviously it depends on the results. I'm very sad if we lose and happy when we win.
“It's like everyone else. The mood went down when we had a couple of bad results but the dressing room hasn't changed.
“Everyone is happy and having a laugh and focused on every game. It is a bad rumour.”
In the midst of Tottenham's poor form, there has also been speculation over Son's future at the club.

Spurs are desperate to tie him down to a new deal with Son scoring an impressive 17 goals in all competitions this season.
But Son isn't ready to discuss an extension on his current deal which is set to expire in 2023.
“It's a bit unfair to talk about a new contract at the moment, I am focused on the games and my team and that is the most important thing at the moment.
“I'm happy to be here and I'm working hard as a player and the team. It's a bit unfair to talk about a new contract.”
