“Hopefully Hugo is here as long as possible and he’ll be the captain. But if he goes to another club or is injured, that’s a role that I’d love to take up. Everyone knows how I feel about Spurs and the connection I have with the fans. I see myself as a leader and we have a lot of leaders on the field. So why not? I’d love to be captain of Tottenham and hopefully one day England as well.”
