Jake Livermore delighted with team spirit at Hull City

Jake Livermore has claimed that the team spirit of the Hull City squad is a big reason for his happiness at the KC Stadium.

The 24-year-old, who moved to Tottenham Hotspur on a permanent basis this summer after impressing in a loan spell last season, believes that it would be difficult to find a group of players with the same attitude anywhere else in the country.

"We're like a family - we travel away together and work hard for each other. That's not for show," Livermore told reporters. "You don't see it too often in the Premier League and it's a massive part of our togetherness.

"We've got a great young squad, a British squad, and it's great to be a part of it."

Hull take on AS Trencin in the second leg of their Europa League third-round qualifying tie on Thursday following a goalless draw in Slovakia last week.
