Ian Wright told BBC Radio 5 Live that hating Spurs is becoming slightly difficult despite being an Arsenal legend given their rise in recent years.

Our second-highest goalscorer of all time waxed lyrical on Harry Kane after his four goals against Leicester City which propelled him to the top of the goalscoring charts.

Kane, who won the golden boot last season, is set to reclaim that title with the forward on 26 goals and Wrighty claimed that everything happening at Spurs is hard to dislike.

“My problem with Tottenham at the moment? You can’t dislike the manager, they’ve players that you like and the way the place is going you like it,” Wrighty said, hesitantly.

“It’s so hard for me, man.”

Pressed by Danny Murphy if he was treading enemy lines with the intention of crossing over, Wrighty put him straight.

“I am not crossing over, Dan. I would never cross over.”

Phew, was getting slightly worried there.

However, one with an objective mind can understand his viewpoint on Spurs. Having said that, they are literally travelling on a path we took a decade ago.

Building a young squad, under a romantic foreign manager who’s able to run the ship with a tight budget while they finance a brand-spanking new stadium. Sound familiar?
