Arsenal legend Henry admits Tottenham genuine title contenders

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry admits Tottenham look genuine title contenders.

Spurs saw off West Bromwich Albion 4-0 thanks to a hat-trick from Harry Kane and a Gareth McAuley own goal, which put them second in the table.

Henry, speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, said he feels Spurs look and play like a side which could go on to win their first title of the Premier League era.

He said: "Why not? Obviously it's not the same if they don't have Vertonghen, but I think they can.

"They look very dangerous every time they play in that system, the difference is that they play in control of the game every single time, it doesn't matter who they play against. But not having Jan Vertonghen, it is a massive blow."
