Tottenham are genuine players in this season’s Premier League title race, says Manchester City midfielder Rodri.
With Antonio Conte at the helm, big things were predicted of Spurs this season and expectations were raised further after an ambitious summer of spending.
While there is surely more to come from Conte’s side in terms of overall performance, Spurs sit third in the table, yet to taste defeat thus far. In Harry Kane, Heung-min Son, Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski, they boast one of Europe’s most prolific frontlines while only Liverpool and City of last season’s top six have conceded fewer goals.
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport, the City star said: “They have put together a great squad and they have a manager who has very clear ideas and who knows how to convey them perfectly.
“They know what they have to do and they do it with great precision. I see Spurs as candidates for the title. Conte’s career speaks for itself.”
These Rodri’s comments were shared on twitter by City Xtra and it attracted plenty of attentions from Tottenham supporters.
