Catch a round-up of the latest Tottenham news, including updates on Ollie Watkins, transfers and James Maddison.
Ollie Watkins makes Tottenham claim
Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has been discussing Tottenham amid a race between the two clubs for a top-four finish in the Premier League this season. Spurs held the initial advantage, but a 4-0 defeat to Newcastle came as a severe blow.
That wasn’t helped by Villa grabbing a win over the Lilywhites’ north London rivals Arsenal shortly after. Despite that, Watkins believes Ange Postecoglou‘s team are still in the hunt and discussed the upcoming derby day clash between Spurs and Arsenal.
“I think it has been a very similar season to Spurs,” Watkins told Football London. “If they came here [Arsenal] and won nobody would be surprised.
“They play a similar style to us. Some people may be surprised by that result but I’m not. We’ve shown what we can do against the big teams and we deserve to be where we are.”
