Tottenham Hotspur spent around £50 million to sign Vincent Janssen and Moussa Sissoko last summer.
Martin Keown has told BT Sport’s Premier League Show that Tottenham Hotspur fans should not get too far ahead of themselves.
Keown does not want expectations to become overinflated at White Hart Lane, despite their recent success.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino received some criticism, after the North London side went out of the Europa League to Gent last week.
But Keown believes that Pochettino deserves a great amount of credit for the job he is doing at Spurs, even if he has wasted some money in the transfer window.
“I don’t think the Tottenham team should get too far ahead of themselves. They’re building a brand new stadium, so they have that to contend with,” Keown said.
“He has wasted some money on one or two signings – Janssen and Sissoko, that’s £50 million that could have been spent a little bit better.
“But look at the way he’s nurtured the players. Look at Kyle Walker, Danny Rose, Dier – we have a lot to be grateful for.”
Tottenham have certainly impressed under Pochettino’s guidance, and they have made huge improvements.
Spurs have been transformed into title contenders since Pochettino took charge, and they have big hopes of making it into the Champions League qualification spots for the second season running.
Tottenham are currently in second place in the Premier League table, after they beat Stoke City 4-0 in their most recent outing.
