# ‘What a tool’ – Fans react to Tottenham star’s recent bullish comments

**Our Tottenham fans here in the Transfer Tavern are looking forward to seeing what their side has in store for them this weekend as they take on Everton in the Premier League.**

The men from north London have had a steady start this season in the top flight and so they’ll be looking to kick on against the Toffees with a win that would grab attention of many.

One man, though, who has already grabbed the attention of onlookers is Serge Aurier who signed for the club at the end of the summer window.

A man notorious for controversy, some are already concerned about what he’s going to do during his time in the Premier League but, speaking to The Sun – via Sky Sports PL on Twitter – he’s clearly backing himself to be a force for good for Spurs:

> Statistically speaking, I am the most influential defender in Ligue 1

> Big talk from the Spurs man.
