Neville discusses the significance of Bissouma, Matar Sarr, Kulusevski, Maddison, and Son for Tottenham this year.
According to The Sun, Gary Neville believes Tottenham Hotspur will place second in the Premier League this season, ahead of Arsenal. The former star of Manchester United predicts that The Lilywhites will place higher than Arsenal. But only under specific circumstances.
Neville believes that Spurs’ chances of finishing second this year are enhanced by the availability of five players. The former United defender lists Pape Matar Sarr, Heung-min Son, James Maddison, Yves Bissouma, Dejan Kulusevski, and James Maddison as Tottenham’s game-changers.
Neville stated:
I stated that I believe Tottenham will place second this year. Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-min Son, James Maddison, Pape Matar Sarr, and Yves Bissouma are the five players returning. With their current form and continued fitness, they have the potential to overtake Liverpool and Arsenal for second place. Is that a crazy assertion?
If Ange Postecoglou can keep these players healthy, Gary Neville thinks Tottenham can advance. The statement must have infuriated Arsenal supporters, who are already hoping for their team to win it all back.
Although many people were taken aback by Gary Neville’s conjecture, his remarks cannot be deemed “outrageous.” With 40 points, Spurs are presently ranked sixth in the league. The North Londoners have 17 games remaining to change the tide.
We have all witnessed how Tottenham began the season with ten straight victories. A string of injuries put an end to the excellent run. James Maddison’s injury had the biggest impact on them all. He was a master at creating plays and directing the flow of the game.
Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr did a good job holding down the defensive midfielder position. There is no need to elaborate on Heung-min Son’s involvement. However, the skipper is currently away on national duty. Last but not least, in the absence of several players, Dejan Kulusevksi was the man who took on multiple roles for his management.
These players together have the ability to assemble a strong team that, should Liverpool, Man City, Arsenal, and Aston Villa falter, could contend for the top four spots or possibly win the championship.
