Ledley King has dismissed talk of a crisis at Tottenham following a disappointing run of form for the north London club.
Bank Holiday Monday saw Spurs suffer a 2-1 defeat at home to Norwich City, leaving Harry Redknapp’s side holding on to the last Champions League place on goal difference.
But King has laughed off talk of a crisis with Spurs looking for a return to Europe’s elite competition next season.
“There is not a crisis in any way,” said King.
“We have top players here. We lost against Norwich, but we have to move on and get up for another big game we have on Sunday.”
The skipper added that he feels it is important that the senior players in the squad help to boost confidence ahead of Sunday’s FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea.
He added: “It’s up to the senior lads to lift the spirits of the rest of the lads and keep them there.
“We can’t dwell on this. We will have to look at a few things and have a few words and try to move on.”
