Summer signing Scott Parker has stated that if Tottenham’s form continues they can challenge for the title, and feels his current side are the best he has played for.
A comfortable 3-0 win over Bolton on Saturday makes it nine wins in ten games for Harry Redknapp’s men, who are currently third in the Premier League behind the Manchester clubs.
Parker wants the excellent run of form to continue, and for the White Hart Lane outfit to be in contention come May.
“At the moment our form suggests we can get up there and give it a go,” he told Sky Sports.
“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,” he added.
The England international won the Premier League November player of the month award after impressive showings, and his doggedness in the centre of the park has released some of Spurs’ more attacking players.
Parker has hailed the ability of the forwards at the club, and feels this is the most able group of players that he has been a part of.
“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,” he concluded.
Parker’s battling qualities will be needed next Sunday, as Tottenham travel to take on Stoke at the Britannia Stadium.
