Spurs 'a step closer to winning a trophy' under Mourinho & capable of a top four finish - Bent

A former Tottenham striker thinks his old club will end up reaping rich rewards after appointing a "serial winner" to replace Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham players and supporters will feel "a step closer to winning a trophy" with Jose Mourinho at the helm, according to Darren Bent, who predicts the Portuguese can mastermind a top-four finish come May.

When Mauricio Pochettino's five-year tenure at Spurs came to an end on November 21, the club turned to one of the most experienced and successful managers in modern football to steady the ship.

Mourinho had been out of work since being sacked by Manchester United last December, but he has had an immediate impact since returning the Premier League.
