Crouch happy to remain patient at Tottenham

Peter Crouch says he is happy to wait for his opportunity at Tottenham, mainly because he is at a great club.

The England international has so far played third-choice at White Hart Lane behind Robbie Keane and Jermain Defoe since arriving from Portsmouth but insists he is remaining positive in regards to his plight.

"Maybe I'm not starting every game at Tottenham, but I'm at a top, top club and with the squad we've got we can really compete and do well," said Crouch, who netted twice for his country against Belarus on Wednesday.

"The manager [Redknapp] has brought me in and he's going to play me. I know I will get a good share of games and I think we'll be doing well in the league."
