New Tottenham Hotspur signing Mousa Dembele is targeting a victory against Lazio in tonight’s Europa League fixture and wants a quick start from his teammates.
The Belgian midfielder arrived at White Hart Lane from Craven Cottage just hours before the close of this season’s summer transfer window. Dembele was later joined by former Fulham teammate Clint Dempsey and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Hugo-Lloris-c16408 as
Tottenham concluded their summer dealings.
The player was a surprise addition to the Spurs squad, and no one had anticipated that the player will move to White Hart Lane. However, Tottenham had secured the coveted midfielder’s services, and he made an instant impact on his move to North London.
The player scored on his debut for the team against Norwich City. Coming on as a second half substitute, Dembele fired from outside the box and gave Spurs the lead. However, it was not enough as Norwich grabbed an equalizer in the second half.
Despite the result, Dembele put in a solid performance in midfield, and did well in filling the void left by Luka Modric’s departure.
The player is now targeting success in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and Europe. He has urged his teammates to make the best start to their Europa League fixture against Lazio tonight.
Manager Andre Villas-Boas has challenged his team to go for the Europa title, and believes his side has the quality to bring history to White Hart Lane by winning the competition.
Dembele is expected to start in midfield against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lazio-c39775 tonight, and wants his team to fire early and get a result.
"Lazio is a big team and I think Panathinaikos will be difficult too so that's why we have to win this game tomorrow so we can go (to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908) with more confidence," Dembele told a press conference.
"This is a very important competition for us. There are some good teams in this competition but I think we can do something in it."
Despite being without the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jake-Livermore-c17604, the player is confident that Spurs will progress through to the knockout stages of the competition, and perhaps even win it too.
