Wenger: Tough to say but Spurs on way to complete top

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says Tottenham fans can be excited by the potential of Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham team.

Tottenham's sensational Champions League victory over Borussia Dortmund has seen them compared to Manchester United's Class of '92 by Wenger.

Wenger said of Tottenham: "I am an Arsenal fan so it is a bit of a sensitive subject for me but what I want to say is that they have the generations of young players.

"They look like the Manchester United generation of Giggs, Scholes, Butt, Beckham and Neville. They made it to the complete top.

"You feel there is something there at Tottenham but they have not shown the maturity in the decisive moments to get there.

"That is the target now to come to maturity in the next two to three years and show that."

He added: "Yes, it's true it is very difficult to win trophies in England.

"The last cup we won we had to play against (Manchester) City in the semis and Chelsea in the final. On the other hand you want to win trophies."
