Erik Lamela insists that Spurs still believe they can win the Premier League title, despite being seven points behind leaders Leicester City with only five games remaining.
Lamela has been enjoying his best season at White Hart Lane this season since arriving for £30 million from Roma in 2013, scoring goals on a regular basis.
Lamela, who scored Tottenham’s third against Manchester United at White Hart Lane, insists that Spurs can win the title and that they are capable of winning their last five Premier League games.
Speaking to the London Evening Standard after Sunday’s fantastic win against Manchester United, Lamela said:
We still believe. We knew before the United game that Leicester had won but we still played a great game. Our task is to win all the remaining games.
Whether Leicester win or lose, the important thing is that we are concentrated on the job in hand.
We have the finish the season in the best manner possible. There are five games left and our aim is five victories.
Tottenham’s next game is against Stoke next Monday, by which point the Lilywhites could be 10 points behind leaders Leicester depending on the latter’s result against West Ham on Sunday.
Do you agree with Lamela that Spurs can still win the Premier League?
