Tottenham wingback Benoit Assou-Ekotto has thanked manager Harry Redknapp for ‘believing’ in his abilities.
Assou-Ekotto, 25, said: "Harry obviously believes in me, the other managers maybe didn't believe in me as much.
"They said I should be a happier person or smile more, or speak more English but it doesn't matter because I can prove it on the pitch.
"That is what I'm doing at the moment by playing more and becoming a better player for Tottenham Hotspur."
