Erik Lamela: Tottenham need to finish in the top four – and we believe we can

Erik Lamela says Tottenham will ‘keep fighting’ to make the top four amid talk that they could even win the Premier League title.

The Argentine scored the opening goal in Tottenham’s 2-1 victory away to Watford on Monday, their third successive win over the busy festive period.

Since their shock home defeat to Newcastle United, Spurs have reacted in impressive style, and sat third in the table prior to the goalless draw between Leicester City and Manchester City.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side now travel to Everton this weekend, and Lamela admits confidence is running high at White Hart Lane.

“The team is playing well. This is very important because we need to finish in the top four,” said Lamela, according to the Sun.

“We hope we can do it. It is in our minds that we can do it.

"We are ready to keep fighting for it. I believe in my team. We are working hard every day to find our best and show it on the pitch.

“The three points we got at Watford could be very important at the end of the season.”
