Tottenham clashes at Leicester City. Predicted by Paul Merson

Ange Postecoglou’s side will travel to the Midlands on Monday night to welcome Leicester City back to the Premier League.

Last season, Tottenham transformed their style of play under Postecoglou and played some enthralling attacking football.

From new signings, such as James Maddison and Micky van de Ven to the old boy, Son Heung-min, they all put in strong performances and helped the team to a fifth-placed finish.

Fast forward to the present and Spurs have backed their manager in the transfer market again, which has impressed Paul Merson.

The former Arsenal man stated that Tottenham have ‘brought really well in the transfer market’ and he sees them as ‘dark horses’ to finish in the top four.

Timo Werner returned to London on a season-long loan deal, whilst Tottenham also secured the transfer of Archie Gray from Leeds United, but another deal stood out for Merson.

Tottenham signed Dominic Solanke in a club-record deal and Merson thinks it’s a ‘great signing’ because his style of play will help players like James Maddison.

Spurs fans aren’t probably used to Merson being so positive about them because, only 12 months ago, he was predicting that they might not even finish in the Premier League’s top ten after Harry Kane left.

But now, Merson is backing the Champions League hopefuls to get off to a flying start and comfortably beat Leicester in their opening match of the new season, as he told Sportskeeda.

“Tottenham are dark horses for the top four in the Premier League this season,” said Merson.

“They have brought really well in the transfer market and Dominic Solanke is a great signing. He’s got plenty of pace to burn and he will make runs – that will help James Maddison as well.

“Leicester have lost their manager this summer and have their work cut out for them this season. I am going to go for Tottenham to win this game (3-0).”
