Tottenham winger Gareth Bale has stated that the summer signings of Emmanuel Adebayor and Scott Parker have strengthened the side, and that the London outfit will challenge for a top four finish this term.
After losing their first two games, Spurs have found their form by beating Wolves and Liverpool in consecutive fixtures, scoring six goals and conceding none.
The Welsh winger has been impressed by Adebayor, who has scored three times in his first two games.
“Adebayor is a great character. He gets along with everyone. He has lifted the spirits in the place,” he told Sky Sports.
“He is a good character to have in the dressing room and we need someone like that so it’s a great addition to our squad and hopefully he can keep on going.
“He is a lively, bubbly character and it’s great for him to be here. The longer he stays the better. On the pitch he has been fantastic. He can play the ball on the floor, in the air, and he has scored three goals in two games and that’s exactly what we needed.
“He and Jermain Defoe have struck up a good partnership too and hopefully they can continue to do that,” the wideman stated.
Scott Parker also moved to White Hart Lane in the summer, and Bale feels the England international has added quality to the team’s midfield.
“Scott is a leader. He shows that on the pitch. He is aggressive and he plays with his heart on his sleeve.
“He rallies us up all before games and gets us motivated so they are two great signings for us and they have shown that already on the pitch. We have a better team now than last year,” he continued.
With competition for a top four finish more competitive than ever, Spurs will need to be at their best to make the grade, but Bale believes they can achieve this.
“There is no doubt in the dressing room that we can finish in the top four. We showed how good we are against Liverpool and Wolves last weekend and in patches against Man Utd and Man City.
“We are all confident we can get in to the top four and I am sure that we will,” he concluded.
