Tottenham’s rocky start to the Premier League season has led to significant criticism, particularly from former midfielder Jamie O’Hara. Following a 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby, O’Hara expressed frustration over the club’s recruitment strategy, questioning the quality of their summer signings.
Currently sitting 13th in the table with just four points from four matches, Spurs’ early-season struggles have raised concerns about whether the club’s €148.85 million summer investment was well spent. Players like Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Wilson Odobert, and Lucas Bergvall were brought in to strengthen the squad, but O’Hara is not convinced they were the right fit.
O’Hara compared the current squad to his era, when players like Robbie Keane, Jermain Defoe, and Dimitar Berbatov were at the club, noting that these stars were highly sought after and made a major impact on the pitch. He criticized the current team for lacking the intensity and drive of past Tottenham sides, stating that players like Solanke and Johnson have failed to live up to expectations.
O’Hara’s remarks highlight concerns about the ambition behind Spurs’ signings, suggesting that these players were not highly coveted by other top clubs. As Tottenham looks to recover from a sluggish start, manager Ange Postecoglou will be under pressure to prove that the club’s summer signings can still make a positive impact and help the team climb the Premier League standings.
