“Spurs are looking very confident. They are relying on their assets and the finishing up front is amazing”, he said.
“The new playmaker at Spurs is Harry Kane. He is like the new Diego Maradona now.
“Long passes, short passes, he has it all.
“For a player of his calibre, playing year-in, year-out, just to be in the top four, it’s not enough.
“If he’s got propositions in the future to play with clubs who will challenge for and win trophies, that’s where he could [go].
“At the end of your career, what you look at is the list of trophies that you won.
“If they win all their games until the end of the season, then they will finish in the top four.
“Of course, it depends on Arsenal, it depends on Chelsea, on other teams, but [Spurs] have got their destiny in their hands.”
