Wilson Palacios is confident Tottenham can finish in the top half of the Premier League this season.[LNB] The Honduran midfielder has made a bright start to his White Hart Lane career after joining from Wigan in a big-money deal last month.[LNB]Spurs remain in a relegation scrap as they are currently 15th in the table and only two points above the drop zone.[LNB]However, there are only five separating Tottenham from 10th-placed Fulham and Palacios is looking up rather than down.[LNB]The 24-year-old thinks Spurs are too good for their present position and will enjoy a strong finish to the campaign.[LNB]"The aim is to get us back into the top half of the table first of all, to get more points and enjoy the rest of the season," he said.[LNB]"I know how good Spurs are and the quality of players we have here. I've played against them a few times so I know exactly how good they are.[LNB]"Everyone knows the club shouldn't be where they are in the table but now it's up to me and my team-mates to get us up to a better position."[LNB]Palacios has been praised by Harry Redknapp since his arrival at the London club and he hopes to repay his new boss.[LNB]He added: "When the manager has said positive things about you, it fires you up even more to work hard and back those comments up out on the field."[LNB]
