Scott Parker hails Tottenham attack as ‘exquisite’ ahead of Fulham clash
According to the Evening Standard, Fulham manager Scott Parker has hailed Tottenham stars Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Gareth Bale ahead of the London derby.
Tottenham make the short trip to Craven Cottage for a Premier League encounter against Fulham in this abridged matchweek in the English top-flight.
Spurs go into the game on the back of two 4-0 wins over Wolfsberger AC and Burnley and will be aiming to build on that against a Fulham side that is battling for survival. However, things may not be easy for Jose Mourinho & co. considering that the Cottagers have grown into a resilient outfit that is hard to break down.
But with Gareth Bale starting to show his best form and the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min among the goals in recent games, Tottenham have a very good chance. And Fulham boss, Parker, hailed the quality of the Spurs’ attacking contingent in the buildup to the game.
“We are playing against probably the best number nine in the world in Harry Kane, then with Son (Heung-min) and Bale, it is a front-half team which is exquisite really. They are unbelievable players with unbelievable talent, (up) along with the best in the league, with Liverpool and Man City.
The Fulham manager had some special words of praise for Bale, whom he played with at Tottenham for two years, labelling him a match-winner. However, he did hope that his team will be able to rise up to the challenge against the Lilywhites later tonight.
