Van Der Vaart eyeing top-four Premier League finish for Tottenham
April 20th, 2011 - 6:03 pm ICT by ANI
London, Apr 20(ANI): Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Rafael Van Der Vaart is hoping to end his goal drought against Arsenal and help his team secure another Premier League top-four finish.
Van der Vaart had started the season on fire, scoring 10 goals in the first four months following his eight million pound move from Real Madrid.
However, the 28-year-old hit a barren spell in 2011, netting just two league goals in the second half of the campaign, with his last against Bolton Wanderers back on February 5.
“I’m not really worried about the lack of goals. We just want to win every game between now and the end of the season - and see if that takes us into the top four,” the Sun quoted Van der Vaart, as saying.
Tottenham will face Arsenal at White Hart Lane on Thursday.
Van der Vaart had inspired his team to a memorable 3-2 win at the Emirates in November. (ANI)
