Tottenham news: Opinion – Do Spurs lack a leader?

Former West Ham and Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast about Tottenham:

“It’s the Forrest Gump line – Tottenham are like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.

“One thing I notice that I think Tottenham are missing massively is they need a leader – or a few leaders. Right now, that is one of the biggest problems at that football club. They have no leaders. There’s not one real captain at that club.

“I do worry for the great youngsters they’ve got coming through. Some of these youngsters have got a bright future but without having a senior player as a real leader to guide this team, you worry about those youngsters really developing with the situation at Tottenham and how it keeps going on like that.”
