As Tottenham Hotspur gear up for the new Premier League season, the club is driven by high ambitions after narrowly missing out on a Champions League spot last year.
Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, Spurs finished 5th, just two points shy of the top four, and impressed with their possession-based football style.
However, former England international Joe Cole has cast a cautious shadow over Tottenham’s prospects for the upcoming campaign.
Speaking to TNT Sports News, Cole suggested that Spurs might struggle to break into the top four again this season, despite their efforts to strengthen the squad during the summer transfer window.
Cole, a former Chelsea player, implied that his old club could outperform Tottenham in the 2024-25 season.
While he did not provide detailed reasons for his prediction, it underscores the intense competition Spurs are likely to face from their Premier League rivals.
Tottenham have made several notable signings this summer, including Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, who was among the top Premier League scorers last season.
Additionally, the club has bolstered its midfield with promising young talents like Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall, both of whom are expected to make significant contributions.
As Spurs prepare for the new season, they are focused on challenging for a top-four finish and securing a return to the Champions League.
With a blend of experienced players and emerging stars, Tottenham will be determined to defy Cole’s prediction and achieve success in the upcoming campaign.
