Pochettino has been pleased with the Senegalese's output off the ball and believes he has a high ceiling in the English top-flight.
"It is really important for him [to get off the mark] because he is a young player, coming in from a different league," the Argentine told Sky Sports.
"The Premier League is always difficult [to adapt to].
