The season ends on Sunday, July 26, and the race for top four will go down until the last day of the season.
Jose Mourinho’s side will try to seal a Europa League slot, with the Portuguese boss having taken over from Mauricio Pochetinno when Spurs were 14th in the league. A gradual and steady turn of form has seen them climb to 7th position.
Spurs are five points behind Chelsea, and Mourinho has now claimed that with more run of matches, his side will be able to make top four.
“If I take the focus a little bit away and I look to the global picture,” Mourinho told the Spurs official website.
“I look at it with the feeling that we should have a couple more matches to play, because the team is in a good moment, it’s strong, has no injuries.
“And my feeling is in normal conditions we would fill top four without problems, and probably we didn’t need much more than a couple more matches to do that.”
While all things are possible in football, it is still a risk to stake that Spurs could enter top 4 with a few more matches, the meteoric rise under Mourhino notwithstanding.
