Spurs Star Finds Added Incentive to Upset Manchester City and Assist Arsenal Arsenal in their tittle quest.
Arsenal’s triumph over Manchester United has set the stage for a thrilling climax to the Premier League season, as they now hold a one-point lead at the top of the table with Manchester City in hot pursuit.
However, City’s looming showdown with Tottenham Hotspur carries immense weight, potentially tipping the scales in the title race.
A victory for City at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium would propel them two points clear, positioning them favorably for their final fixture against West Ham.
Conversely, a draw would leave both teams level on points, with Arsenal maintaining a slightly superior goal difference.
While a faction of Spurs supporters may harbor reservations about aiding Arsenal’s title ambitions, manager Ange Postecoglou has dismissed such sentiments, suggesting they should seek counseling.
Spurs Star is a big fan of Mikel Arteta side.
Interestingly, one of Spurs’ own, Dejan Kulusevski, finds himself uniquely motivated.
Kulusevski, who has previously expressed admiration for Arsenal, citing the club, city, players, and style of play as factors, could play a pivotal role.
Speaking on the Swedish Lundh podcast during his time at Parma, Kulusevski said:
“My favourite team is Arsenal because I like everything about the club, the city, the players and the way they play football.”
In another interview after moving to Spurs, the Sweden international appeared to hint at wanting to play for Arsenal.
As per football.london, he said:
“There’s one team I’ve always wanted to play for, and I think I will play there one day, but I don’t want to say what team it is because it’s sensitive stuff.”
Despite Spurs’ slim chances of securing a top-four finish, Kulusevski appears undeterred, relishing the challenge ahead.
“It’s a team [Man City] we love playing against,” he stated.
“We love playing against the strongest teams, so it’s going to be a nice evening.
“The fact they leave spaces behind the backline is one thing, but there are many different things when you play against the best.”
