Tottenham news: Spurs backed for top four as Dele Alli faces Everton axe

Tottenham Hotspur could finish ahead of Arsenal and land a Champions League place according to Stan Collymore.

Spurs currently sit in fifth place in the Premier League, three points off of Arsenal in fourth although the Gunners do have a game in hand. And with the season entering the business end, Collymore has given his thoughts on who will qualify for next season's Champions League – and backed Arsenal to choke.

It comes as Dele Alli is facing an embarrassing nightmare at Everton, just months after sealing his transfer from Spurs. And former Spurs midfielder Christian Eriksen was hit by a coin during an interview after he scored with his first touch during his Denmark return.

Here are Mirror Football's latest Tottenham Hotspur headlines.

Eriksen hit by coin

Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Christian Eriksen made an incredible return for his national side Denmark as he scored with his first touch in international football since suffering a cardiac arrest while playing at Euro 2020.

Eriksen was forced to put his whole career on hold following the harrowing scenes last summer during his country's match against Finland as he was forced to leave Inter Milan as Italian football doesn't allow players to use the cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) devices he has had implanted. He has now made a return to professional football, though, after signing for Premier League outfit Brentford in the final hours of the January transfer window.

His fairytale return continued on Saturday night as he swept a low cross from the right into the top corner to score with his first touch on his return to international football, although Denmark ended up losing to the Netherlands 4-2. And there were disgraceful scenes after the game, as the former Spurs ace was hit with a coin while he was conducting a post-match interview.

Alli's embarrassing nightmare

Dele Alli could be facing the axe at Everton just months after signing for the club from Tottenham Hotspur.

The former England international was handed an unlikely opportunity at a fresh start as Frank Lampard took charge of the Toffees and then moved to sign him in the final hours of the January transfer window. But the move already appears to be turning sour, with reports suggesting Alli's new club may even be prepared to drop him when the transfer window opens this summer.

Spurs backed for top four

Stan Collymore has backed Arsenal to choke in the race for Champions League qualification – and reckons Spurs could be the side to overtake them.

Mikel Arteta's side are currently in the driving seat with 10 games left to play, but Collymore is so confident they won't finish in the top four that he's promised to wear a Gunners shirt with the Arsenal manager's name on the back if they prove him wrong. Spurs currently sit in fifth place and are breathing down Arsenal's neck in the race for Champions League qualification.

But according to Collymore, Spurs will face stiff competition for fourth place from one other side.
