Jan: Spurs deserve Cup glory

- BY ADRIAN KAJUMBA

JAN VERTONGHEN reckons Tottenham “deserve” a trophy to cap their progress in recent years and believes one will lead to many more.

And he has urged his team-mates to take a big step to breaking their silverware drought when they face Manchester United in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final.

Spurs have not won any honours since the 2008 League Cup.

But they have been transforme­d under boss Mauricio Pochettino and gone close to trophy glory in the Premier League, League Cup and FA Cup during the Argentinia­n’s four years in charge.

Defender Vertonghen, 30, said: “Everyone at the club is looking forward to games like this and being in finals.

“This is definitely the best team I’ve played in at Tottenham. The club deserves a trophy for all the work we’ve put in and we hope Saturday can be the next step.”
