Expert: Tottenham handed top-four boost by Arsenal, West Ham and Man United
Tottenham have been handed an advantage in the race for a top-four finish by their rivals.
That is according to Spurs insider John Wenham, who regularly breaks news about the club on his Lilywhite Rose social media channels.
In January, Tottenham strengthened their squad with the signings of Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski.
Meanwhile, West Ham, Manchester United and Arsenal, who are all in the hunt for fourth place, failed to make a senior addition.
Wenham insists Spurs are the only team in contention to finish fourth who have strengthened.
“People say, have Tottenham strengthened? The question is, who hasn’t strengthened? Wenham told Football Insider correspondent Ben Wild.
“Arsenal have done nothing but lose players this month. They were mainly squad players but they had a pretty small squad anyway.
“Aubameyang has gone and left them with Lacazette and Nketiah, two strikers who are out of contract in the summer and I don’t rate them.
“I think they have left themselves really light. Man United have lost two strikers.
“Martial has gone out on loan and Greenwood won’t play for them for a significant period of time.
“West Ham haven’t signed anyone either and they have needed a striker for a while.
“It’s a complete failure from those clubs. If anyone has ‘won’ the transfer window, it’s Tottenham.”
As it stands, Tottenham are seventh but only two points off fourth-placed Man United.
Spurs also have one game in hand on Arsenal, two games in hand on Man United and three games in hand on West Ham.
