da dobrowin: Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has admitted the unthinkable and claimed that he is “jealous” of North London rivals Tottenham Hotspur.
da gbg bet: There is a very strong chance that Spurs will finish above Arsenal in the Premier League table for the first time in 22 years.
As it stands, Mauricio Pochettino’s team are second, 11 points above the Gunners with eight games left to play.
Arsene Wenger’s men have a match in hand on their neighbours, and they boosted their chances of finishing in the top four by defeating West Ham United 3-0 on Wednesday night.
However, Wright believes that Tottenham possess attributes that Arsenal have been missing for some time.
Spurs were trailing 1-0 against Swansea City with two minutes of normal time remaining but goals from Dele Alli, Son Heung-min and Christian Eriksen secured a remarkable turnaround.
While carrying out his punditry duties on BBC’s Match of the Day, Wright admitted that he is jealous of Tottenham’s desire and hunger.
“To be honest, there’s a fight and a determination to Spurs now that’s very tough for me. It’s very enviable, and I’m so jealous of them. They were 1-0 down after 88 minutes, but they just kept going – they did not stop going at them.”
