Tottenham have found a strong start to the new Premier League campaign under Antonio Conte.
Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi believes Tottenham are ‘in the right condition’ to win the Premier League this season.
Tottenham suffered a bitter derby defeat against Arsenal last week as they failed to claim the league’s top spot.
The Spurs then drew 0-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt, remaining winless in their last four away games.
However, Brighton’s newly-appointed manager believes his side must prepare for a tough battle against Antonio Conte’s men.
“I think Tottenham are in the right condition to win the Premier League,” he said.
“It’s not easy, because there’s [Manchester] City, Liverpool, Chelsea, but in the transfer market they bought very good players and after one year to work with Antonio, I think they are able to win the Premier League.
“The squad is better than one or two years ago. If he doesn’t play [Dejan] Kulusevski, he plays Richarlison, if he doesn’t play [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg or [Rodrigo] Bentancur, he can play [former Brighton midfielder, Yves] Bissouma.
“Tottenham are a good team, not only the first 11 – but 20 or 22 players.”
Tottenham sit third in the Premier League, three points above Brighton in the fourth spot. Let’s see if De Zerbi can leapfrog the Spurs by claiming his first victory at the Falmer Stadium.
