William Gallas eying Premier League title this season
The Frenchman has tasted success at the top twice before with Chelsea and sees the talent in Spurs' ranks to mount a serious challenge for the ultimate domestic prize
By Sam Bisby
Tottenham defender William Gallas believes his team have the talent to challenge for the Premier League title.
"We have the look of the champion," he said in The Times.
Spurs have picked up 28 points from a possible 30 since their 5-1 loss against Manchester City back in August and enjoyed another victory at the weekend against West Brom.
Gallas is no stranger to winning the title, picking up the championship twice with former side Chelsea, and sees similar potential in his current club.
"I have won trophies and I know what it feels like to win and it is quite possible to do something here too," Gallas said.
"Against West Brom and Fulham we have not played as well. It was the same when I was at Chelsea when sometimes we did not deserve to win a game, but with luck we won 1-0 or maybe 2-1, and it is a little bit like that with Tottenham."
He added, "You play for success, you play to lift yourselves, so now we have to believe in ourselves, work hard to try and catch City. It is very wonderful to see how we play and we can win every game."
Gallas could feature in Wednesday night’s clash with Greek outfit PAOK in the Europa League and the Frenchman believes Spurs have the talent to see off the Group A leaders, and admits he would love to be playing more football.
“It is not a bad team, we have some strong players who, like me, want to play every game," the defender said."Sometimes you can be frustrated but you come to accept it. Sometimes it is not easy. What is more important is the club is winning."
