The League One side travel to White Hart Lane on Wednesday.
Gillingham’s Bradley Dack
Bradley Dack has explained what Gillingham teammates and former Tottenham Hotspur pair Jamie O’Hara and Paul Konchesky have told him about the Premier League side ahead of their EFL Cup meeting, the Daily Mirror reports.
The League One side – currently managed by another old Spurs man Justin Edinburgh – face Mauricio Pochettino’s men at White Hart Lane in the third round of the competition on Wednesday.

And Dack, who will perhaps be the player that the Premier League side will be most worried about, explained what he has heard from the pair about the team that stands between them and the last 16.
“Jamie and Paul said it’s a great stadium to play at, the fans are great and the pitch is always lovely so it’s something we are looking forward to,” he told the Mirror.

As well as trying to help his side cause an upset, the 22-year-old will know that impressing against a club of Tottenham’s stature could have big implications for his career.
The Bristol Post reported in July that Crystal Palace, Celtic and Bristol City had all been monitoring the midfielder’s progress, while Queens Park Rangers had also previously held an interest in him. And if he can make an impact against Spurs, it is surely likely that that interest may intensify ahead of the January window, and more teams may join the race for his signature.
But in the short-term, the Gills will be hoping that the knowledge their manager and some of their players have about the club will boost their chances of not being overawed by the occasion.
