Tottenham are stranded just a point above the relegation zone in the Premier League.
Just nine months ago, Tottenham fans were celebrating their team’s historic triumph under Ange Postecoglou. The Lilywhites had defied all odds to win the Europa League final against Manchester United in Bilbao. It was a day that no one associated with the North London club will ever forget, thanks to the brilliant winning goal by Brennan Johnson. The historic victory also meant that Big Ange’s men ended the club’s 17-year wait for a major trophy.
Fast forward nine months, and Spurs are now fighting to maintain their top-flight status this season. The Lilywhites have hit new lows ever since that remarkable Europa League triumph. They failed to build on that historic achievement, despite Thomas Frank claiming last summer that the club would compete on all fronts and ensure it remained in contention at the top end of the table.
Frank is now gone, and it is Igor Tudor’s responsibility to ensure that the North Londoners avoid relegation from the Premier League. Spurs have managed to win only two of their last 22 league matches under two different managers. They are the only remaining team in the division yet to register a league win since the turn of the year, with their last victory coming against Crystal Palace during the Christmas period.
Harry Kane remains hopeful that Tottenham will avoid relegation
Tottenham are hoping to secure their top-flight status under Igor Tudor in the coming months. They need to return to winning ways in the Premier League, starting with a clash against fellow relegation rivals Nottingham Forest. Both sides face each other in a must-win encounter this weekend, with the winner gaining a crucial opportunity to pull away from the relegation battle that is set to intensify in the coming weeks.
Now, Spurs legend Harry Kane has stated that he is rooting for the Lilywhites to maintain their Premier League status and avoid relegation in the coming weeks. Speaking to Capital Football, Kane said,
“I hope that they stay up. They are in a tough situation for sure but I really hope they can. I think they have enough quality in their team to be able to do it. But as we know the Premier League is tough. I will be watching and hoping they can do it.”
As Kane rightly points out, Spurs are in a difficult position this season and must start picking up points to avoid slipping into the second division in the coming weeks. It goes without saying that the Lilywhites possess enough quality in their squad, but they need their key players to step up in crucial matches. The Spurs legend is backing the North Londoners to rediscover their form under Igor Tudor, adding that he will be watching their six-pointer against Nottingham Forest closely.
