Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Mousa Dembele has insisted that his team will not try to dream of winning the Premier League title and will remain focused on the games as they come.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side currently sit in second place in the league table, level on points with arch-rivals Arsenal, two points behind leaders Leicester City.
Spurs secured a crucial 2-1 win over title contenders Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday to reduce the gap between them and the league leaders.
The White Hart Lane outfit were considered outsiders for the Premier League title, however, their recent performances have strengthened the belief that they are one of the main contenders this season.
Dembele, who has made 24 appearances for Pochettino’s side this season chipping in with four goals, feels the club need to move forward game by game and focus on the next match, which remains the most important one.
