Former Tottenham midfielder Sandro has backed one of Thomas Frank’s key players to control Viktor Gyokeres ahead of the north London derby against Arsenal. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, if Gyokeres is fit enough to start against Spurs, he expects Tottenham defenders like Romero and Micky van de Ven to keep him in check throughout the game.
Sandro added that getting all 3 points against the league leaders will be a pivotal moment for Tottenham’s season.
His words, “Gyokeres will be fit for this game. Gyokeres is a player that works very, very hard for the team. I saw him here in Portugal and he can run! He can run, he will give everything for the team.
But I think Romero is an intelligent defender, he’s strong and he’s a winner. Van de Ven is fast enough to control him, fast enough to control him in the deep. Gyokeres is a fighter.
He will fight with Romero all game long, you’re going to see that. They will be 100% fighting throughout this match, because I see two players that want to fight. Romero will be there to fight for everything. Every single ball, he’s going to throw his head in.
Gyokeres will also push Romero, I’m so excited to watch them battle. This could be a very important game for us to change our momentum. If we can win this game, it could be a game changer for the period ahead.”
WOW.
