Victor Wanyama is adamant Tottenham will win the Premier League title in May.
Former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Victor Wanyama believes the North London outfit have what it takes to win the league title this season.
Ange Postecoglou's men shrugged off a mounting injury crisis to inflict Bournemouth's first defeat in eight games.
Fifth-placed Spurs are just three points off the top with the table tantalisingly poised heading into 2024.
"We're three points off the top so if that is the difference between having a great season and where we are, I'll take it," said Postecoglou.

Wanyama was part of the team that finished second on 86 points, nine behind eventual winners Chelsea in the 2016/2017 season and also reached a Champions League final with the side in 2019.
Meanwhile, the former Kenyan international, who played for Celtic before joining Southampton in 2013, was known for scoring wonder goals, including an unforgettable strike against Liverpool in 2018.
He also did score more iconic goals, including one against Barcelona during their 1-0 win over the Catalans in a Champions League group stage encounter in 2012, and has now revealed why that goal was the best of his career.
“In my career, I would say the goal against Barcelona because it opened up a lot of opportunities for me.
