Johan Lange has defended Tottenham's lack of activity in the final weeks of the winter transfer window and revealed interim boss Igor Tudor could get the role permanently. Lange faced the UK media on Friday and explained why Spurs turned to Tudor despite a lack of Premier League experience. Tudor is no stranger to a mid-season arrival and difficult position, but will be without at least 11 players for Sunday's visit of rivals Arsenal. 'You need to come in to build relationships but of course assess the style of the club immediately. 'Romero is here, he is our captain, he is here on a long-term contract with the club,' Lange pointed out.
