Tottenham Hotspur have been guilty of letting leads slip all too regularly so far this season.

Jan Vertonghen has admitted to the Daily Mail that Tottenham Hotspur must address their failure to hold on to leads.

Tottenham have now had advantages against Arsenal, Olympiacos and, most recently, Leicester City but failed to hold on.

Spurs’s latest defeat to Leicester has seen big questions asked about their mentality.

And Vertonghen admits that it is a problem which needs to be looked in to.

“It’s something to look at, definitely,” the centre-back said. “Apart from Olympiacos we’ve done well in these games. But it is making it even harder.

“If you’re 1-0 and the way we were playing — we felt good, we were dominating — then maybe you should put the game in the bag. We need to keep clean sheets.”

Tottenham fans have become concerned about their start to the season, as they still do not seem to have clicked.

Spurs, in truth, have been out of sorts in the Premier League throughout the entirety of 2019 – and their poor away form is now highly concerning.

Tottenham’s defeat to Leicester has left them in seventh place in the Premier League table, with their next match coming against Colchester United in the League Cup.
