Tottenham Hotspur are one game away from reaching the Champions League final.

Don Hutchison has claimed that the likes of Eric Dier, Moussa Sissoko, Harry Winks and Olivier Winks will not take Tottenham Hotspur to a Premier League title.

The BBC Sport pundit stated that investment is ‘needed’ by Spurs in their midfield this summer as he urged them to sign PSG’s Adrien Rabiot on a free transfer when his contract expires at the French club [transfermarkt].

For the past two transfer windows, Tottenham have not signed a player, but that will more than likely change when the window re-opens because the club have finally moved into their new stadium.

Speaking on the Monday Night Club on BBC Radio Five Live (06/05/2019 at 8:40 pm), Hutchinson made it clear what the North London outfit need to do this summer.

“If that rumour about Christian Eriksen going to Real Madrid is true,” Hutchison told BBC Radio 5 Live. “They have already lost Dembele. Eric Dier’s not going to take them close to a title. Sissoko’s had a brilliant season, but he’s not going to take them close to a title.

“Investment needed, in my opinion, in the middle of the park – Rabiot would be a good signing on a free transfer from PSG.- What a player he is, by the way. Many top clubs would take him on a free if you’re not paying a fee for him.

“I like the players he has got. I like Harry Winks, I like Olivier Skipp, I like Sissoko and Eric Dier. But these are not players, when you look at what Liverpool or Man City are doing, that are going to take you to a title.”

For large parts of the Premier League season, Pochettino’s side have been third best to Manchester City and Liverpool, who have been dominating the league with relative ease.

Both teams are vying for the title and have taken the race for England’s top crown to the final day of the season. The Reds could potentially record 97 points and still finish as runners-up.

It is going to take a lot from the other teams to close the gap on the runaway duo, who have showcased their defensive and attacking skills throughout this campaign.
