Wanyama backs Spurs to turn things around

Victor Wanyama insists Tottenham are not low on confidence despite a run of six games without a win following Wednesday’s loss to Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Spurs are still unbeaten in the Premier League, but have now lost both of their home games in Europe, in front of record crowds at Wembley.

The main issue has been with scoring goals, with just three in those six games, and the return of Harry Kane cannot come soon enough.

However, Wanyama believes the most important thing is for the squad to unite in an effort to turn things around, starting with this weekend’s North London derby against Arsenal.

He said: “I don’t think it’s a lack of confidence, it’s just that things are not working well and we have to stay together.

“We know we’re in a bad moment, we have to stick together and it will come.

“Everyone is disappointed, we know we can do much better than this. We have tough games to come so we have to continue fighting.

“Sure, it’s very disappointing losing at home. We have great support so it’s very disappointing but there is nothing we can do now, it’s happened and we have to look ahead and try to be better.”
