Ledley King has fired a warning to London rivals Arsenal and Chelsea by claiming Tottenham are looking to mount the biggest challenge to Manchester City and Manchester United in the Premier League title race.

Spurs have shrugged off a slow start to the season and victory over Fulham on Sunday extended their unbeaten run in the league to eight games.

The White Hart Lane side are fifth in the Premier League, with a game in hand of the four sides above them.

Many feel the title battle is between the Manchester giants, but King is looking for Spurs to gatecrash the North West party.

"I hope we can become the biggest challenger to the Manchester teams," King told the Evening Standard. "We're still learning, we're still taking one game at a time, but at the moment we feel we can win every game we go into.

"That showed against Fulham. We didn't play well in the second half and we got lucky at times. But when that's happening you have to dig deep and we did that.

"We're managing to grind out results. That's seven wins in eight games and you have to be a good side to do that."
