Nelsen has joined Spurs on a free transfer after the veteran defender was released by Blackburn on transfer deadline day.
“Medals, trophies are things you strive for. Blackburn got to five semis and never made a final, so it’s very exciting,” Nelsen told New Zealand’s 3News.
Nelsen admits he face a challenge of breaking in to the first team, but he is looking forward to it.
“I kind of like when the odds are stacked against you, so we’ll see. We’ll get out there and give it everything,” Nelsen said.
“It feels like you’re going back to the first day of school, so yeah, everyone will be looking at you and judging you so I better clean my boots and comb my hair… it’ll be fun.”
