Wycombe Wanderers midfielder Scott Kashket says he can’t wait for his side’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Tottenham Hotspur.
The tie will hold extra significance for the 20-year-old, who grew up as a Spurs supporter. Kashket, who’s the League Two club’s top goalscorer with 13 goals, was last week voted the League Two Player of the Month for December, and told Jewish News: “As a Spurs fan, it’s a game I always wanted to play, in a stadium I always wanted to play in, and with most of my family being fans too, it will be interesting!”
WYCOMBE WANDERERS’ REACTION ON DRAWING SPURS:
Delighted with the draw, he said: “It’s brilliant, not just to get Tottenham, but one of the big Premier League teams and one of the best in the country. “You’ve got to go there, think it’s one game in the FA Cup and anything can happen. To test yourself against teams like that is something you want to do as a player, but we can’t get too carried away as we have other games to play first of all.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
