Tottenham could be dark horses for next season's Premier League title.
That's according to former Spurs striker Louis Saha.
The ex-EPL forward reckons his old side could be a surprise package in terms of the teams competing with Manchester City for the title next year.
And he believes the arrival of Ange Postecoglou in North London could be a big factor.
He has a big job on his hands after years of mediocrity at Tottenham in recent seasons since the departure of Mauricio Pochettino.
The club finished eighth last term, so a rebuild is required this pre-season to ensure Spurs are better equipped for the domestic campaign in the months ahead.
While some are sceptical of Postecoglou, ex-Manchester United star Saha has high hopes for the Australian while he's at the helm of Spurs, although, he did admit they do have some way to go in their bid to close the gap on the likes of City, United, Arsenal, and Liverpool.
Asked for his dark horses to win the Premier League next term, Saha told Betfred: “Who knows? There are too many contenders, to be honest. Tottenham could be a surprise package, which is weird to say.
"They’ve had a change in manager, Harry Kane could still potentially stay and they’re a great club, but I would be surprised if they caught up on the better teams in the league next season.”
It comes just one day after floods of punters tipped Spurs to be relegated next term.
It has been revealed by Betfair that only Luton Town have had more bets placed on them to go down than the North London outfit.
Spurs have been understandably priced at a huge 55/1 to be relegated.
But that unlikelihood of the scenario hasn't put people off gambling on the club losing its prestigious top-flight status under Postecoglou in his debut season as a Premier League manager.
Should the unthinkable happen, it would be the first time in over 40 years that Spurs would be relegated to the second tier of English football.
Not since 1977 have the club ever been out of the top division.
By contrast to Tottenham, Luton's odds for the drop are very short at 1/3.
Wolves, Everton, Sheffield United, and even Chelsea all clearly have plenty of doubters too, according to the data provided by Betfair.
