2) Tottenham
They were, alongside Liverpool and Manchester City, the title challengers once the season reached its half-way mark. However, selling Mousa Dembele proved to be a problem for the club, with injuries playing a massive part in their downfall.
Not only did the North London side lose Heung-Min Son in between but also Lucas Moura, Harry Kane and Dele Alli. That effectively ended their title race, but bringing in Julian Brandt will solve that. Erik Lamela looks a shadow of his AS Roma self, struggling to make an impact.
Moussa Sissoko was brought in as a winger and has been transformed into a decent central midfielder. Mauricio Pochettino has a solid core at Tottenham but if they don’t start winning trophies soon, then it will be difficult to keep hold of the star players.
Bringing in someone as talented as Julian Brandt will help them do that, and possibly sustain a title challenge.
