Ledley King: This Tottenham side are good enough to win the title

 
Tom Collomosse4 October 2013

Ledley King believes Tottenham are strong enough this season to win only the third league title in their history.

The retired former Spurs skipper, who is now a club ambassador, has been so impressed by the club’s start to the campaign that he is cautiously optimistic they can go all the way.

After defeating Anzhi Makhachkala in last night's Europa League clash, Spurs face West Ham in the Premier League on Sunday as they seek to consolidate third position in the table.

“It (the title) is something I have thought about,” King told Standard Sport. “There is still a long way to go, but if the team can keep performing as they are until Christmas, they can re-evaluate the situation and take it from there.

“They look like one of the strongest teams and, along with Arsenal, they have been one of the most consistent. The race looks open, more than it has done in previous years.

“In recent years, you always expected Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea to be at the top of the table from the off, but they have all struggled a little bit. At this stage, you wouldn’t know who to put your money on.”

After making eight changes for the meeting with Anzhi, Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas is expected to restore most of his first-choice players to the starting XI at the weekend.
