Former Spurs midfielder gives his view on how many Arsenal players he would want at Tottenham ahead of the north London derby
Jermaine Jenas has delivered his verdict on how many Arsenal players he would want at Tottenham - and his answer should go down well with Spurs fans.
The former Spurs midfielder has been speaking with Playmaker FC ahead of the north London derby about how many players from the current Arsenal squad he would want at Tottenham, if he could create a combined XI.
And his answer?
"None."
However, on reflection, he did add that there is one player who he would try and find a space for, even though he admitted he did not know where he would play him.
"Do you know what? The only player in Arsenal's team right now that I would really want in the Spurs team is [Pierre-Emerick] Aubameyang," he said.
"But I still don't know where I would put him.
Jenas was then pressed to try and pick five Arsenal players to create a combined XI from the north London rivals, and while he did, his reluctance to do so will no doubt go down well with the fans who used to cheer him on at White Hart Lane.
He said: "Am I still wanting Spurs to win the game?
"I have got to be smart about this.
"[Lucas] Torreira, I would probably take him, I would take [Hector] Bellerin, I would take [Nacho] Monreal and I would take Rob Holding, but just to clarify.
"That is a fact, that right now, for one of the first times ever, you wouldn't really swap many of the Spurs team for Arsenal players."
"The league never lies, and Tottenham are a better side than Arsenal."
