Former Arsenal man Daniel Oyegoke plans to help Hearts ‘beat up’ Spurs as he ‘never liked them’
Perhaps it’s a trait he learned whilst playing in Arsenal’s youth academy, or simply a personal view towards the London club’s biggest rivals. Whatever the reason, Hearts’ new defender Daniel Oyegoke won’t be holding back when Spurs visit Gorgie for Wednesday night’s pre-season friendly.
Oyegoke learned the important of the North London derby as a teenager and those emotions are still ingrained within him. He recalled his Arsenal days with a grin as he talked of youth derbies against Spurs and why he simply didn’t like Tottenham teams.
“I faced them quite a few times. We used to beat them up! It was always a good fixture for us,” smiled Oyegoke. “They tried to tell us the importance of the derby when you are young. I’ve never really liked Spurs, so hopefully we can try to beat them up again!
