Tottenham are one of the most entertaining and enthralling teams in England. Having won 2 League titles, 8 FA Cups, 4 League Cups and 2 UEFA Cups, they have constructed a new stadium for themselves known as the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It is the biggest stadium in London, having a capacity of 62,062. Over the years, Spurs have developed a formidable team capable of challenging the giants of English football.

The current team is extremely talented and strong in all the 4 departments i.e. goal-keeping, defense, midfield and attack. They have a young and energetic coach in the form of Mauricio Pochettino, who is full of ambition and has his sight firmly fixed on winning the Premier League next season. Having played in the UEFA Champions League and finished 3rd in the Premier League last season, it is certainly not an impossible task for Spurs to win the League next season.

With young and talented attackers in the form of Eriksen, Alli, Son, and Kane in their side, Spurs have got the ability to dominate other teams by playing attacking football. They also have got a strong defense coupled with the presence of captain Lloris in goal.

Hence, this makes Tottenham a formidable unit, which has the ability to win the top prize next season.

Let us have a look at the 3 reasons as to why Tottenham will win the Premier League next season.


#3 Strong defensive unit

Vertonghen and Alderweireld are strong in defense

The pair of Vertonghen and Alderweireld is probably the best in the Premier League currently in terms of defense. They are rock solid at the back, command the Spurs defense and are pinpoint accurate in tackling their opponents. They are good at distributing the ball and are also a threat to the opposition during set pieces due to their height and strength in the air. With Davinson Sanchez as a back-up, it becomes a formidable defense for any opposition to beat.

Spurs also have Trippier and Rose as their wing-backs, who have got good pace and also have the ability to track back and help the defense during the opposition's counter-attack. Trippier is also good at set-pieces as he displayed his precision quite well for England at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, and Vertonghen have all played exceedingly well for England, Colombia and Belgium respectively. Hence, they are expected to carry this wonderful form for Tottenham next season and make its defense impenetrable for the opponents.

With such a strong defensive unit at their disposal, Tottenham are bound to concede fewer goals next season.

#2 World class goal-keeper, Hugo Lloris

Hugo Lloris

Hugo Loris has now firmly established himself as probably one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time in the record books. Being 6ft 2 inch in height, Loris has one of the safest pairs of hands due to his reflexes and the ability to stretch himself as wide as possible to stop the ball from going into the net. He is also good at communicating with his defense and is also regarded as a sweeper-keeper.

Having kept 3 clean sheets at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Les Bleus skipper played an influential part in winning the 2018 World Cup for them. He had his best season at Spurs in 2016-17, having kept 15 clean sheets and helped Tottenham in reaching their greatest ever defensive record of giving away just 26 goals in the Premier League season.

Hence, having a goal-keeper of Lloris's stature makes Tottenham one of the powerhouses of the Premier League.

#1 Prolific goalscorer, Harry Kane

Harry Kane

Harry Kane is one of the best strikers in the world right now. Being the captain of England at the 2018 FIFA World Cup, he was instrumental in helping them reach the semi-finals and finish in 4th place. Having scored 6 goals in the competition more than any other player, he was awarded the Golden Boot.

Having won the Premier League Golden Boot twice by scoring 25 and 29 goals respectively in 2015-16 and 2016-17 seasons, Kane is a fan favourite and the most prized possession of Tottenham. His goal-scoring phenomenon has helped Tottenham win close contests and also helped them qualify for the Champions League next season by finishing 3rd in the League table.

Hence, the presence of Harry Kane makes Tottenham's attack quite threatening and one of the best in the Premier League.
