Arsene Wenger, the former manager of Arsenal, has said that Tottenham lacks the physicality to compete with other clubs.
Following the Premier League team's 1-0 loss to Italian side AC Milan in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 match on Tuesday night, Wenger claimed that Antonio Conte's team lacked quality despite spending "a lot of money.".
The difference between the two teams on the night was Brahim Diaz's goal, and Conte's team still has a chance to win the match at the Tottenham Stadium on March 8; this was their second loss in as many days after a humiliating 4-1 loss to Leicester City on Saturday.
Tottenham, despite some significant additions in recent transfer windows, are severely lacking in Wenger's opinion in key areas.
Tottenham Hotspur's inconsistent play this season has left them outside the top four of the Premier League, behind Newcastle United and Manchester United.
“Tottenham for me, is a team that is not convincing, they do not have enough top quality players,” the Frenchman told beIN Sport."
This weekend, West Ham United will host the next match for Antonio Conte's team in a London derby at the Tottenham stadium, followed by a match against Chelsea.
“Overall I believe this team lacks pace, they have a mono-rhythm and they do not change pace enough and cannot compete physically pace-wise at the top level at the moment,” he added.
