EXCLUSIVE: Andros Townsend has fired a warning to the Premier League’s big four by insisting: Tottenham can definitely win the league.

Spurs, who are already five points behind early leaders Arsenal, are rated as outsiders to battle for the title this term.

But despite the doubts, Townsend insists Tottenham have all the qualities needed to win their first league title since 1961.

‘I definitely think we can win the title,’ said Townsend.


‘It’s a big target for us. We’ve had a good start to the season and the boys are feeling good.

‘There’s a great atmosphere in the squad and that’s given us confidence.

‘We know it will be difficult and there are lots of sides up there, but I think we’ve got the strength and depth to match them.’



Townsend has established himself as an integral part of the Spurs side this season, having previously had nine loan spells in four years in a bid to play first-team football.

And the 22-year-old admits he thought the chance might never come for him at White Hart Lane.

‘There were times when I didn’t think I’d get the chance,’ he added.

‘When you’re on-loan you can sometimes get forgotten about and you can fall off the radar.

‘I had a call from Andre Villas-Boas last season and that helped me a lot.

‘It gave me a big boost and when I returned to Spurs he’s been really good with me. He gave me a chance and I’m determined to take it.’

The opportunity to play coincides with Spurs losing Gareth Bale in the summer, while many have drawn comparisons between the pair in recent weeks.

But Townsend is quick to play any likeness down, saying that despite their similar styles, they are very different.

‘I understand the comparisons but I don’t listen to them.

‘I’ve trained with Gareth before at Tottenham and he’s a fabulous player and somebody who I’d say is an idol of mine.

‘But we’re different people and I think comparing us is not fair. We’re both individuals with individual traits and it’s important we stay like that.’
