Gylfi Praise For Spurs Striker

Gylfi Sigurdsson comes face to face with his former Tottenham team mates this Sunday looking to end a winless run of four games for the Swans but also to end a run of seven straight defeats to Spurs in the league.

The Swans have only gained one point from a possible twenty-four against Tottenham since promotion to the Premier League, their worst record against any of the sides that they have played every season.

There was a 1-1 draw in the first Premier League meeting between the two sides but that is as good as it has got for the Swans as they have lost every meeting since and this would be a perfect time for that run to end and head into the international break on a high.

But for us to do that we are going to have to stop Harry Kane who has drawn some strong praise from Sigurdsson. The England striker scored his first league goal of the season last weekend and he will be looking to add to that before he joins up with the England squad after the game

"Harry is very good. He always gives his all, he works very hard," said Sigurdsson.

"He's strong, has a good shot and is a good finisher.

"He can be as good as he wants to be if he's given the right service and steers clear of injury.

"I don't see why he shouldn't continuously get 20-odd goals a season."

The fate today’s Swansea footballers would never have to endure

Brave Swans in memorable game at Carrow Road
It was a pulsating game to watch and very much one of my favourite away games of the season. The Swans looked an entirely different side to that we saw at Middlesbrough when it is clear a catalyst for commitment was agreed behind the scenes at Swansea City. To a man every player grafted and wore the shirt with pride. To see the players really acknowledge the Swans support at Carrow Road this afternoon was emotional.
