Tottenham Hotspur are currently in fifth place in the Premier League table.

Phil Neville has told Match of the Day, which was broadcast on BBC One on 15th December, that Erik Lamela, Christian Eriksen, Heung-Min Son and Dele Alli all need to start improving for Tottenham Hotspur.

Spurs won 3-0 against Hull City yesterday, with Eriksen getting on the scoresheet twice.

However Neville believes that Tottenham’s attacking midfielders need to start contributing more to help Harry Kane.

“Spurs need the likes of Lamela, Eriksen, Son and Dele Alli to start providing more for the team, just to give Harry Kane a little bit of help,” the former Manchester United and Everton defender said.

Eriksen has been well short of his best this season, but he does appear to be getting back to his best now.

Son and Alli, on the other hand, have struggled in recent weeks, and Lamela has been sidelined for a considerable time with injury.

Tottenham’s win over Hull meant that they stayed within touching distance of the top four.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side are currently three points behind fourth placed Manchester City.

Tottenham are next in action at the weekend, when they take on Burnley at White Hart Lane.
