DARREN BENT has backed Tottenham to dump Arsenal out of the
top four.
Spurs' record signing is expecting to challenge for a Champions
League spot this term. And the £16.5million striker reckons North
London rivals Arsenal should watch their backs.
Bent said: "I believe Spurs have a real opportunity to break into
the top four now and I think we can be one of the biggest clubs in
Europe. "There's no reason why we can't catch the likes of Arsenal
and Liverpool. "The Champions League is the real target. That's
where the best teams in the world play and I genuinely believe
Tottenham will get into that bracket.
"When you look at the squad we have, we can definitely compete at
that level, which is what makes this season coming so exciting."
Bent tasted European action with Ipswich six years ago. And he is
keen to fire Spurs to UEFA Cup glory this season. He added: "I
managed a couple of goals and got a taste of it but I was still
really young back then.
"I'd like to think I'm a better player now so, this time around, I
think I'll be a bit more prepared for it.
