Sky pundit thinks £10m Spurs man is like a new player under Conte

Tottenham Hotspur defender Ben Davies “has been incredible” under Antonio Conte, according to Michael Dawson.

The 28-year-old Spurs man fell out of favour under Nuno Espirito Santo, who often benched him.

Davies played more often under Jose Mourinho, but he still found himself on the bench on numerous occasions.

However, Conte’s arrival has seen the £10million man become a crucial member of the Tottenham starting XI.

Davies has been featuring as the left-sided centre-back in the Conte’s back three at Spurs.

In addition to playing more often, the Welshman is also delivering superb performances.

And Dawson is loving what he’s seeing from the Mauricio Pochettino signing.

“Since he has been there under Antonio Conte, he has been incredible,” said the Sky pundit (26/12, 12:25pm).

“He has come from nowhere.

“He didn’t play under Nuno, he didn’t play under Jose, (Conte) has brought him in as a left centre-half.”

Earlier this month, Premier League legend Alan Shearer also noted how much Davies has improved under Conte.

He named Davies in his Premier League Team of the Week after his performance against Norwich.

Shearer wrote that the Wales international was looking “rejuvenated under Antonio Conte.

“He played his part in another clean sheet and set up Son Heung-min’s goal against Norwich City.”

Davies has been at Tottenham for over seven years and has often gone under the radar.

However, you don’t make upwards of 200 appearances for a top-flight club if you’re no good.

But now, Davies is finally getting the appreciation he deserves.
