Tottenham fans on social media are eager for Japhet Tanganga to start this weekend in the North London Derby against Arsenal.
Spurs take on their fierce rivals this weekend as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side travel to the Emirates Stadium. With Tottenham in poor form, a win against Arsenal could be key to the Portuguese manager.
The white side of north London have lost their past two Premier League games 3-0, whilst their derby rivals Arsenal have won back-to-back matches in the division.
With the Gunners cruising to a 3-0 win over AFC Wimbledon in the League Cup whilst Tottenham were taken to penalties against Wolves, overall form is not in Spurs’ favour ahead of this weekend.
Indeed, three points will be huge for Spurs. And on social media, fans want Nuno to start Tanganga over Emerson Royal at the Emirates on Sunday.
The Tottenham academy graduate has impressed in the right-back position this season. Whilst Emerson, who signed for £25m this summer from FC Barcelona, has looked shaky when given minutes this campaign.
With Arsenal likely to be all-guns-blazing, Spurs could be against the tide in the North London Derby. And fans on social media are eager for the defensively solid Tanganga to start over Emerson.
Here’s what some Tottenham fans had to say about Tanganga ahead of the derby on Twitter…
