Former Spurs Star Urges Team to Focus on the Champions League Over the Premier League

Former Tottenham Hotspur winger Darren Anderton has suggested that the club ought to prioritise the Champions League over the Premier League this season as it is a more prestigious competition, while he also feels domestic glory will be difficult playing 'home' games at Wembley.

"It's got to be the Champions League over Premier League, it's a great competition," Anderton said when speaking to betsafe.com.

"It's so difficult playing at Wembley, it really is a completely different stadium," he added.

"For me, it's too far from the pitch, the atmosphere is tough. And away teams love playing there, I bet every player in the Premier League this year, the first fixture they look for is Tottenham away and playing at Wembley - and that makes it tough.
