Tottenham 'want' Premier League title says Mousa Dembele
Tuesday 19 April 2016 13:41, UK
Mousa Dembele believes Tottenham Hotspur have the "mentality" to win the title as they head in to the final four games of the season only five points behind Leicester City.
Tottenham produced one of the best away performances of the season on Monday night - easing past Stoke City 4-0 - and Dembele thinks Spurs can push Leicester City all the way.
"This is the situation where you can see if we are ready or not," the Belgium international said. "The pressure is there.
"Everyone knows it will be very difficult, but we play like this so you can see the mentality is there. Everyone wants it and we just manage to keep playing our game.
"In the past it was very difficult as well. Everyone saw the way we played: confident, direct, creative, positive.
"One of the best performances - that says something. We just want it and we're not scared of it."
Spurs will be buoyed by the suspension of Jamie Vardy who was sent off in Leicester's dramatic 2-2 draw against West Ham but Dembele insists the north London side are focusing on their final four games of the season.
"It's one of their best players so it's good for us of course but we concentrate on our own game," Dembele said of Vardy.
"It's good everyone is there, nobody is injured. Everyone is mentally ready so that's the most important thing."
Dele Alli who was impressive with two goals on Monday night is optimistic about his sides chances for the rest of the season and assures they will maintain their hard-work right until the final game at Newcastle.
"We showed what we are all about," Alli said. "We won't stop fighting until the end of the season.
"Stoke is never an easy place to come and it was a strong performance. We created a lot of chances and could have scored a lot more. It's a good statement.
"We've been pretty strong all season. Maybe a few games not at our best but we've got a great team here and we do look like we're getting stronger.
"We're a good team and we'll keep working hard on the training ground."
Tottenham will hope they can close the gap between themselves and Leicester when they play West Brom on the Monday Night Football, live on Sky Sports 1 from 7pm.
