„Arsenal“ manager Arsene‘as Wenger is convinced that it will be difficult for the „Tottenham“ club to compete with other clubs due to their wage structure. Wenger warned the „Tottenham“ team that they risk losing their stars due to the low budget compared to other elite teams in the „Premier“ league.
The „Tottenham“ club continues to hunt for the „Premier“ league title and has already secured a place in the Champions League for the 2017-2018 season. However, Wenger doesn't believe that the „Tottenham“ club can retain players like Harry Kane or Dele Alli for long.
„It's impossible to keep such players for a long time if their budget continues to differ so much from other teams“, Wenger said, „when players reach a certain level, they want to earn money like other players of their level. If the difference is significant - you will never keep your best players“, the specialist concluded.
However, an interesting fact is that for the first time since 1996, when Wenger joined the „Arsenal“ team, „Tottenham“ will finish higher than their rivals in the „Premier“ league. These teams will meet on the field today. „Tottenham“ is 4 points behind the first-place „Chelsea“ club, while „Arsenal“ is in 6th place, trailing 5 points behind the 4th-place „Manchester City“ club. The truth is, the „Arsenal“ team has played one less game.
