Tottenham may lack quality needed to win Premier League - Arsenal legend Campbell

Arsenal legend Sol Campbell believes that a lack of experienced winners in the squad might hurt Tottenham's title chances in the Premier League this season.

Spurs are currently placed third in the league table, but Campbell, who infamously joined Arsenal from Tottenham in 2001, has snubbed their title hopes.

"Tottenham have been very impressive of late, but I think the same can be said of Spurs as that of Leicester - experience under pressure could be key to success," Campbell said in his Sportlobster blog.

"The last eight to 10 games of the season are when you really find out who you are as a player, team and a club as a whole.

"At the moment they are going along fantastically well and you have to say they have given themselves a chance of winning the Premier League, but they don't have a lot of winners in their team.

"By that I mean they don't have players who have experienced success in a league of this quality.

"They are a young side with a lot of talent, but they might lack a player who has 'been there, done that', the sort of player who will keep everyone calm, focused and believing that anything is possible.

"Leicester are in the same position - as a club they have entered unknown territory and it's going to be brilliant to see if either club can hold their nerve and produce a real challenge right to the end of the season."
