Angel Rangel relishing Ben Davies rivalry

Angel Rangel admits that he is looking forward to facing former teammate Ben Davies when Swansea City play Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

Swansea City defender Angel Rangel has admitted that he is looking forward to facing former teammate Ben Davies when the Swans play Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The pair were key figures in the Swansea backline before Davies departed for White Hart Lane during the summer, in a deal that saw Michel Vorm make the same switch and Gylfi Sigurdsson move the other way.

Rangel says that friendship will have to be put to one side when Davies returns to the Liberty Stadium this weekend.

"Obviously Ben is a great player and a great professional," the Spaniard told the South Wales Evening Post.

"He's been doing well, but we're not friends on the pitch, we know that. We are professional and we have to compete and win the points. Afterwards we can talk and be friends again.

"I'm glad he's doing well, but if I'm in the starting 11 I will be happy to play against him and stop him."

Swansea are currently eighth in the Premier League table, while Spurs are 10th.
