Although West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur have a long-standing feud in the London derby and will face off in the Premier League this weekend, the Hammers' new coach Graham Potter publicly expressed his best wishes to his old rivals.

Speaking about Tottenham's upcoming Europa League semi-final second leg against Bodø Brøndby, Potter said he hopes Ange Postecoglou's side can complete the process and eventually reach the Europa League final.

Porter said: "They have indeed experienced a lot of difficulties this season. If you ask Angle, he will definitely agree with this point of view. Injuries, the growth of young players, and the pressure of fighting on two fronts, etc.

"In the Premier League, no game is easy."

"They have done well in Europe and I really hope they can complete the task and reach the final."

Tottenham Hotspur beat Norwegian team Bodø FC 3-1 at home in the first leg and will head to the Arctic Circle for the second leg with a two-goal advantage.

However, before the expedition to Norway, they will face West Ham United, who are also trapped in the relegation quagmire, at the London Stadium this Sunday. Currently, the two teams are ranked 17th and 16th in the Premier League standings, and the situation is not optimistic.
