Vertonghen: Spurs Need To Win A Trophy

Jan Vertonghen believes it is about time, the Tottenham Hotspurs win a trophy, as it is a thing they deserve this season.

Tottenham have not won silverware since the claimed the League Cup in 2008, but were eliminated from that competition by Chelsea this season.

And while they are third on the League table, nine points behind Liverpool and still in the Champions League, their only reasonable shot at silverware is in the FA Cup.

Tottenham face Crystal Palace in the fourth round of the competition and Vertonghen wants them to do everything to win.

“Obviously, we were all disappointed on Thursday, but it brings us together — like the game we had at Stamford Bridge when we drew 2-2 a couple of years ago,” he told reporters.

“Winning something would definitely mean a lot. I don’t know how many years to come, but, hopefully this year we can. The FA Cup is very important.

“It’s such a shame. This team deserves so much more, but there are so many teams competing for a rare prize.

“Over the last five years, we haven’t had a lot of luck. It would be a big shame if we don’t reward ourselves, because this team and everyone in the club deserves that reward. It would be good to win something.”
