Tottenham coach Joe Jordan sets sights on top four Premier League finish following victory over Aston Villa
Following Harry Redknapp’s comments that Spurs can win the title, the 59-year-old has admitted that Champions League qualification is more of a realistic target
Tottenham Hotspur coach Joe Jordan believes that a top four finish is the realistic target the club are aiming for this season.
Last night’s 2-0 home win against Aston Villa saw Spurs move up to third place inthe Premier League, with the north London side having picked up 25 points from their last nine games.
Manager Harry Redknapp stated his belief that Tottenham have a chance of winning the title following the victory, but Jordan has since suggested that a top four finish is more of a realistic target.
Jordan said to Five Live: “He was looking at the importance of the way the team has progressed. If we could get in the top four I think that would be a great season.
“For us to be in the top bracket is something we’d have liked at the start of the season, but look at the manner in which Manchester City and Manchester United have started. We had a poor start, it wasn’t balanced.
Valencia midfielder Mehmet Topal flattered by Chelsea & Manchester City interest
The 25-year-old is said to have caught the eye of a number of Premier League clubs and admits that he’s honoured with the English links
Valencia midfielder Mehmet Topal has admitted that he’s honoured to be linked with a Premier League move, with Chelsea and Manchester City reportedly interested in the 25-year-old.
Mehmet moved to La Liga from Galatasaray in the summer of 2010 and has gone on to establish himself as a steady performer at the Mestalla.
The Premier League big guns have had their heads turned by a release clause worth a reported €10 million (£8.5m), and the Turkey midfielder admits that it is an honour to be linked with a move to England.
“I know that there are teams following me,” Mehmet told the Dogan News Agency. “This makes me incredibly happy. The Premier League is my dream.
“However, Spain also makes me very happy and I have dreams I want to accomplish here. At the end of the season, I’ll come to a decision.”
Meanwhile, Mehmet, who was only used sparingly by his country in their unsuccessful bid to qualify for Euro 2012, has voiced his hope that the Turkish national team will have a brighter future with Abdullah Avci as coach.
“Now we must look to the future. I hope the new management has managed everyone’s form fairly. I believe we will achieve success under Abdullah Avci’s management.”
