Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp admits he saw his old club as a Premier League title challenger this season.

Spurs have fallen away since reaching the Champions League final last term.

Redknapp said, "In the last year, I didn't foresee what was going to happen at Tottenham. I could see them winning the Premier League title last year.

"I thought they were going to march on: they've got a great team, I loved [Mauricio] Pochettino.

"But they went into decline with that terrible run that they had and Jose [Mourinho] has gone in and found it hard to turn things around. They've done ok without being great.

"They need surgery in the summer but at the moment, is anyone going to spend money in the next year or two and going for big transfers?"
