Holtby: The north London derby is a massive game for Tottenham

Lewis Holtby describes life as ‘perfect’ since his January move to Tottenham from Schalke.

The midfielder was part of the team that beat West Ham 3-2 at Upton Park, while they play north London rivals, Arsenal next in the league.

Holtby said: “I’m buzzing for the north London derby, it’s a massive game for us. We have to be prepared to try and get the win.”

He added: “We have the quality in the squad to go third. With the quality in the side, we can definitely play Champions League football.

“Every game in the Premier League is just an experience and I can’t believe that I’m here. Life is going perfect right now.”
