Premier League 2019/20: 4 reasons why Tottenham can make a real title charge

#4 They aren’t finished in the transfer market just yet

Tottenham are expected to add Ryan Sessegnon to their squad, strengthening it further

Last season was one of frustration for Tottenham fans when it came to transfers, as after Lucas Moura was signed in January 2018, Pochettino was unable to add any new talent to his squad in the following two transfer windows.

Coming into this summer both Pochettino and chairman Daniel Levy promised things would be different, and sure enough, Tanguy Ndombele and Jack Clarke have both been signed since the end of 2018/19.

For a lot of Spurs fans though, that hasn’t been enough. Clarke – a young prospect – has been sent back on loan to Leeds, who sold him to Tottenham, and while Ndombele is expected to make a huge impact, many people were expecting more from the club.

Thankfully, the transfer window is still open for another week – and naturally, Levy has always been a man to leave things late.

Currently, Tottenham are heavily linked with the signing of two players – Argentine playmaker Giovanni Lo Celso of Real Betis and left-sided defender/forward Ryan Sessegnon of Fulham.

Current reports suggest deals for both men are close, and the only sticking points are the prices – which will likely be ironed out in the next few days.

Assuming Spurs do sign both men, Pochettino’s squad would suddenly look a lot stronger. In Lo Celso they’d have a potentially brilliant playmaker to take the pressure off – and eventually replace – Christian Eriksen, and in Sessegnon they’d have one of the best prospects in world football, a 19-year old who has earned comparisons with Tottenham legend Gareth Bale.

A relatively thin squad with a lot of tired players was enough to finish 4th in last season’s Premier League table and make the Champions League final – so it’s not hard to imagine how well a stronger, fresher squad could do in the upcoming season. A title challenge would surely be on the cards.
