Tottenham Hotspur defender Toby Alderweireld is looking forward to the two London derbies this week that could define his side’s season.
Spurs are currently on a six-game winning run in the league, and another victory tonight at West Ham will carry them to the top of the Premier League table via superior goal difference compared to current leaders Leicester City.
While the London derby at Upton Park is a big occasion for both clubs, Tottenham are also looking forward to Arsenal’s visit to White Hart Lane on Saturday, as they could have the opportunity to deliver a decisive blow to their hated rivals’ title challenge.
Alderweireld is excited to take part in the pair of London derbies and admits these are the kind of pressure games he always wanted to play in when he was coming through the ranks as a young footballer.
He indicated that that the next few days could end up defining the White Hart Lane outfit’s season.

The defender told Spurs TV: “It is going to be massive.
“Those are the games you want to play when you are a child. It is kind of a game you sometimes can’t describe, and I am really looking forward to this week.
“On Wednesday we have West Ham and then on Saturday, we have got Arsenal, so it’s a massive week for us.”
Tottenham have never finished above Arsenal in the Arsene Wenger era, but this could be the season where they finally break that duck and go on to even win the league.
