Spurs news: Pochettino's demands, dropping Eriksen, Vertonghen & Alderweireld, sponsorship deal

Can Tottenham rediscover their best form?

An up and down campaign stuttered big time before the international break and Spurs and Mauricio Pochettino will be looking to get back on track with a game against rock bottom Watford this weekend.

The international break threw up a number of issues that needed attention, while there was a big meeting between the Tottenham hierarchy and the supporters.

For all that and more, here's a roundup of all the biggest news stories from around N17 in the last 24 hours.

Levy on Pochettino's demands

Daniel Levy has been quizzed on a number of issues by the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters' Trust.

And among those issues was the topic of the summer transfer window and the squad refresh that manager Mauricio Pochettino has been calling for.

Spurs signed three players in the summer, but were left with a number who were keen to move away.

And Pochettino has been forced to play stars who do not want to be there, which has not helped with the club's form this campaign.

Read what Daniel Levy had to say about the squad refresh here.

Lineup without contract rebels

Pochettino has had to call on a number of players who were not expected to be at the club this season.

And there have been plenty of claims that he has an unsettled squad on his hands in N17.

How does he sort that out and still get the club into the top four this season? That is the big question.

If he were to drop the players whose contracts are ending, and those that were tipped to leave in the summer, how would the starting XI look?

We took a look.

Stadium naming rights

Another thing on the agenda for the meeting between Spurs and the Supporters' Trust was the stadium.

Unlike most other stadia, the new ground in N17 does not have a sponsor.

It is something that was expected to happen when it was built, but that was not the case, and sxi months on it remains Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Will that change?

Here's what Daniel Levy had to say.

Dele Alli dilemma

Dele Alli has struggled to find his best form in the last year or so.

He has lost his place in the England team and is not yet a first choice in Mauricio Pochettino's starting XI this season.

So where has it all gone wrong, and what does he need to do to regain form and his standing at Spurs?
