Last updated : 02 April 2010 By Sam

The Russian international, who looked to be heading out of White Hart Lane in January, has returned to the side and has been in sparkling form in recent weeks - scoring nine times in nine games.

"My goals should be credited to the whole team and not just myself," he said.

"I am presented with the chances and all I am trying to do is capitalise on them.

"The team itself has progressed immensely and we are a much better team compared to last year.

"In terms of the spirit we are almost like one family and that definitely contributes to the success we are enjoying at the moment.

"We are trying to become the number four team in the table this year, which opens the road to the Champions League," he said.

"There are only two months left and we have to keep winning to finish the job.

"We still have to play the likes of Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.

"These are difficult teams. But in football anything can happen, and any team can be a surprise."
