Jose Mourinho has “brainwashed” his Tottenham players, according to Tim Sherwood, who believes the Portuguese can deliver Premier League title this season.
Tottenham have emerged as the surprise early pacesetters in the top flight this season, having picked up 20 points from a possible 27 so far.
Sherwood has praised the former Chelsea and Manchester United manager for raising the collective confidence levels within his current squad, and sees no reason why they can’t lift the trophy if they continue on their current trajectory.
“He’s found a way with the group of players he has,” the ex-Spurs midfielder and manager told talkSPORT.
“He’s bought very well, [Sergio] Reguilon has been a good signing at left-back, but [Pierre-Emile] Hojbjerg for me has been the best signing. He fits into the style and just protects the two centre-halves.
“Jose has brainwashed his players to believe they have to work to achieve something – they need to win trophies, this group of players.
