Holtby warns West Ham: Spurs want treble revenge

Tottenham midfielder Lewis Holtby says they're aiming for West Ham United revenge.

West Ham enjoyed a treble over Spurs last season.

Hammers fans gleefully chanted about winning the "treble" while the club produced T-shirts celebrating the three wins.

Holtby is determined to avenge those defeats and said: "After last year's performances against them, everyone knows what this game's about. Everyone's really up for it.

"It's about getting three points in the first game of the Premier League season, and it's a big derby which means a lot to the fans.

"If we could win at Upton Park I think that would mean a lot to the fans, especially after last year," Holtby added. "Everyone's really up for it and we can't wait to kick off."
