Tottenham players deny rumours of dressing room rift | OneFootball

José Mourinho is never too far from the drama, but his current Tottenham players have denied reports that there is already a dressing room issue in north London.

Earlier this week, claims spread that Mourinho was losing the players.

The Portuguese has seemingly exiled Danny Rose from recent squads and has criticised Tanguy Ndombele over his injury record.

However, Spurs stars have now leapt to Mourinho’s defence and said there are no issues in the squad.

“I can say with my hand on my heart there’s no negativity,” Toby Alderweireld said, per the Guardian.

“We have an unbelievable group. I think we have such nice guys.

“Maybe we are too nice, you know? That’s maybe the problem! But no, everyone is very happy with the manager, the way we train.”

And he wasn’t the only one.

Eric Dier admitted there is unhappiness at the club, but only because results have not been as good as expected.

“Any club, when results aren’t going well, is not a happy atmosphere,” said the England international.

“But it definitely isn’t a negative atmosphere. I don’t feel anything along those lines personally and I think everybody has been training very well, training hard, enjoying themselves in the same way as always.”

Spurs won in midweek and netted their first Premier League goals of 2020 in the process.

They now sit sixth in the Premier League, six points behind fourth-place Chelsea.
