Ramos: EPL better than La Liga

In a recent interview, Tottenham boss Juande Ramos has claimed that the English Premiership is a stronger competition than the Spanish Primera, at least right now.

The ex-Sevilla man was talking about the strengths of Europe's top two leagues and believes that it is variety at the top that holds the key.

"In Spain you have two teams that are constantly in the top four - Barcelona and Real Madrid - and then the other two places are much more open.

"You get teams such as Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal and Celta Vigo.

"These things go in cycles. Right now I think that the Premier League is above all the others, and so you are getting more quality players coming to England."

The Spurs boss will be hopeful that he gains sufficient backing from the board in the summer to ensure that his Tottenham side break into the top four next season.
