Sigurdsson confident handling Tottenham expectations

Gylfi Sigurdsson is confident handling expectations at Tottenham.

The Iceland international scored on debut in the friendly win over Stevenage this week.

"Do I feel the pressure? No. But obviously it's nice to have pressure, as it keeps you going and keeps you working hard.

"However, if you think about it too much it gets into your head and you play your best football when you are relaxed and enjoying yourself and that is what I will try to do.

"And of course, Tottenham have always played fantastic football.

"I remember many years ago, when I was younger, watching them and although they might concede three they would score four.

"They always played good attacking football and that is how we want to play football. Hopefully we can keep developing over the next three or four weeks and get a good start to the season."
