Wenger says Tottenham's players have lost their hunger

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Tottenham's players have lost their hunger.

Wenger dissected Tottenham's miserable run of form, which saw them lose 7-2 to Bayern Munich last week and 3-0 to Brighton at the weekend.

He told beIN Sports: "When I played them two or three years ago, they looked like a young, hungry team who had found good strengths, good core of the team with people who were together, growing inside the club.

"They expressed that hunger and players from outside were vital, like Eriksen. Today, you don't feel exactly the same chemistry, and a player like Eriksen is a bit sidelined because it looks like he doesn't want to commit his future to the club.

"Modern life is down to small margins, and these small margins at the moment are not in their favour. Will they get that back?"
