Tottenham midfielder says they can be champions if they maintain current form
Scott Parker believes Tottenham will be pushing for the Premier League title in May if they maintain their current run of form.
Spurs have dropped just two points in their last eleven games (a 2-2 draw at Newcastle) and a 3-0 win over Bolton on Saturday kept them within seven points of leaders Manchester City with a game in hand.
The north London club have not won a league title since 1961 and their challenge last season ran out of steam in the spring.
Parker, who moved to White Hart Lane in the summer, feels they have what it takes to go all the say this year.
He said: "At the moment our form suggests we can get up there and give it a go.
"There is still a long way for us to go. It is new for us but we are consistent at the moment and long may it continue.
"On our day we can beat anyone but you have got to realise that when you are at the top you have got to come out with three points even when you are not playing well by grinding out results, and on a couple of occasions this year we have done that."
Player of the month
The England international was named Premier League player of the month for November and his ability to play in the holding role has allowed Gareth Bale, Aaron Lennon and Luka Modric to push forward from midfield.
He added: "I've probably not played in a team that plays better football than this one.
"We have an exceptional team and it is a joy to play in it every week. There are some very good players - not just in the team, but in the squad as well.
"At any moment in any game we have got players who can score goals and change a game."
