Jermaine Jenas is unconvinced about Tottenham’s chances of returning to the top four at the end of next season despite ending the last campaign on a positive note.
The Lilywhites made a poor start to last season and it took the appointment of Jose Mourinho to turn things around for them.
They now have the chance to sign the players that they need and to prepare to end next season in a better position.
They have just landed Joe Hart on a free transfer and he joins former Southampton midfielder, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg to sign for the club in this transfer window.
The Lilywhites still have some more signings to do as they have also lost Jan Vertonghen who left at the expiry of his last deal and Kyle Walker-Peters, who they just sold to Southampton after his successful loan spell with them.
Jenas revealed that he is afraid that the current squad isn’t good enough to play into the top four and he thinks that the club needs a few more signings.
Asked by former Arsenal player Ray Parlour on the TalkSport Breakfast show how he thinks Spurs will do this season, Jenas replied: “Why are you asking me this question, mate?! Just because you’re happy with your signings…
“I am worried if I’m totally honest with you. I don’t see Tottenham getting in the top four as it stands right now.
“I’ve not seen anything in regards to a level of performance that tells me they’re going to break back in.
“The end of the season was positive but it was getting results in not the most beautiful way.
“That’s Jose’s way and I think a lot of Tottenham fans will still take that, because the results are the most important thing.
“But the way I see it right now, they need to bring in at least two or three players and, if they don’t do that, I don’t see how they possibly can get into the top four.”
He is rather negative is Jenas but he has to make a living and putting down his former club probably works well for him.
