Tottenham players have responded to a powerful message from supporters, with several members of the squad acknowledging the backing ahead of a crucial match against Nottingham Forest.
It has been a difficult season for Tottenham Hotspur both on and off the pitch, with a lot not clicking for the north Londoners.
Spurs are in a relegation scrap with eight games to play in the Premier League, which is simply unacceptable for a club of their stature.
Tottenham’s remaining Premier League fixtures:
Still, the fans remain firmly behind the club and are hoping they can push on for the rest of the season and avoid the drop.
That sentiment was shared by Tottenham supporters, who sent a message to the entire squad. The message read:
“Tottenham Hotspur means everything to us. It always has. Generations of us. Families. Friends. Strangers. Brought together by the same badge, the same community, the same pride. With one job: to support our team.

“Time for reflection comes later. Right now, we are in the run-in with big games ahead. So, to our team, our Tottenham players, our coaching staff, our team behind the team, our club: we are not going anywhere. We are with you.
“From the atmosphere in the stands, the belief in the streets, to the roar the players walk out into. For every remaining minute of this season, we are right behind you. We will be there for every step, and we will be your 12th man throughout.
“You will hear us. To every single player wearing our shirt: we walk out with you, and we remain behind you – whatever may come. We cannot control what happens on the pitch. But we will provide everything you need off it. We believe in you. This is our club. ALL TOGETHER ALWAYS!”
If that doesn’t get the Tottenham squad hyped, then nothing will!
Tottenham players respond to fan message ahead of Nottingham Forest clash
The Tottenham players have now signalled that they have received this message from the fans, with many sharing it on their Instagram stories.
Among those to have shared and reposted the message from the fans are Antonin Kinsky, Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Radu Dragusin, Micky van de Ven, Archie Gray, Conor Gallagher, Lucas Bergvall, Mathys Tel and Dominic Solanke.
The show of unity comes at a crucial time, with Tottenham preparing for a decisive run-in as they look to secure their Premier League status.
Spurs fan backing could prove decisive in survival run
This message comes right before the all-important six-pointer between Tottenham and Nottingham Forest. The game is set to take place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, which is fitting for Spurs as they will need their fans to act as a 12th man in this encounter.
A victory on Sunday and Spurs could open up a four-point gap between themselves and the side in 18th place.
With the season drawing to a close and the gap between Tottenham and the relegation zone just one point, this group of players will need all the help they can get, and the backing of the fans will be vital.
