Pundit hints one player is stopping Tottenham from being genuine title contenders – Spurs Web

Tony Cascarino has argued that Tottenham Hotspur can be considered genuine title contenders if they replace Richarlison with a top-class number nine during the January transfer window.

To many people’s surprise, Spurs are sitting at the top of the Premier League table after eight games. They certainly deserve to be where they are, having delivered impressive displays so far this season.

Unlike his predecessor Antonio Conte, Postecoglou has not played down talks of a title challenge, remarking that the Tottenham supporters have every right to get carried away and dream big (Optus Sport).

However, pundits have largely written off the Lilywhites as potential title contenders, with the likes of Gary Neville (on his podcast on Sky Sports) and Robbie Savage (TEAMtalk) suggesting recently that Postecoglou’s men will be found out later in the season, due to their lack of squad depth.
