Tottenham Hotspur

After sleeping for the first month and a half of the transfer window, Tottenham Hotspur woke up and bolstered their squad right at the end. Despite losing Kyle Walker to Manchester City, Spurs look much better on paper than they did last season.

Serge Aurier is a fantastic replacement for Walker, provided they can keep his temper in check. Davinson Sanchez is a highly rated centre-back who will provide cover for Tottenham’s well-established defense. 19-year old Juan Foyth is another young defender with great potential.

While deadline day signing, Fernando Llorente will provide excellent cover to Harry Kane. Llorente can also be used as a plan B for Spurs when they are chasing games. And he could prove to be their equivalent of Manchester United’s Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Mauricio Pochettino has a very settled and talented squad available at his disposal. And they could be set for a third successive title challenge this season.

Now if only they could buy a way to win at Wembley…
