Currently on-loan with Sevilla from OM, Maupay told Sky Sports: "He's a meticulous coach; he lives and breathes football 24/7.
"The only unknown is the limited time available: there are only a few games left, and his style of football requires learning.
"But if they manage to stay up, Tottenham will have pulled off a fantastic coup."
