The Premier League season is upon us, and Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to improve on last season’s fifth-placed finish. According to club legend, Jermain Defoe, the Lilywhites can do better.
Ange Postecoglou did a good job getting Spurs into the top five last season in his first year in charge, and he did it all while coping with the loss of Harry Kane and trying to teach his squad the style of football he wanted to play.
Now, with new players and the squad another year wiser, expectations have been raised. Defoe believes Tottenham can go one step better this season and finish fourth.
When asked by Sky Sports if Spurs can be top four contenders, Defoe said: “I think so. I think the first ten games last season, all the signs were there. Then it was just unfortunate with the injuries. If any team gets that many injuries, you’re going to struggle.
“I believe this season, if he can keep all the top players fit, I believe Tottenham get in the top four this year. I really believe that.”
However, Defoe could only see one winner for the Premier League title this year, and it’s Manchester City yet again.
He added: “I just can’t see past Man City to be honest. I feel like they’ve got too much… Arsenal came close, and I do believe Arsenal will come close again this season. Every year, the league seems to improve, the game is moving so much, managers do not switch off.
“The first thing they think about is ‘how can we improve?’ and review the season, look at areas to improve. Who can we bring in, how can we get better. The levels are so high. I’m looking forward to this season, but I do think City will win it.”

I think we will finish fourth, maybe third if Arne Slot takes some time to settle in at Liverpool.
A top-four finish and a trophy would be a very good season for us this year, with the latter being absolutely essential.
