Tottenham face the same problem as Arsenal last season by relying too much on their first-choice XI, according to former Spurs midfielder Jamie O’Hara. Ange Postecoglou’s side have had a fine start to the campaign but O’Hara says further recruitment is needed in the January transfer window.<\/p>\n

Tottenham are one of just two clubs who remain unbeaten in the Premier League. They will go back top of the table with a victory over Fulham on Monday evening.<\/p>\n

The departure of Harry Kane has so far not had a negative impact on results. Summer arrivals of James Maddison and Micky van de Ven have contributed to a fresh atmosphere among the north London club.<\/p>\n

Spurs have beaten both Manchester United and Liverpool at home, as well as picking up a well-deserved draw at rivals Arsenal. O’Hara is excited about how his old side are performing.<\/p>\n

But he believes they are an injury or two away from falling by the wayside. Arsenal suffered a dramatic drop in form last season in the absence of William Saliba.<\/p>\n

O’Hara hopes Spurs chairman Daniel Levy learns from that and spends wisely in the January window. He told Grosvenor Sport: “I think Tottenham\u2019s situation as a squad has definitely got better this season and they have players that can come on and make a difference, but I still think they need to improve in January.<\/p>\n

“If Spurs can stay in touch with Manchester City and Arsenal until January, Daniel Levy may look at the situation and realise that they actually have half a chance of challenging for the title.<\/p>\n

“That could make him go out and spend some money on solid reinforcements. Then I think Spurs would have a chance of winning the league.<\/p>\n
