Jose Mourinho claims Wolves are a top-six club ahead of Tottenham clash
As reported by Sky Sports, Tottenham Hotspur manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that Wolves are a top-six Premier League club ahead of the clash against them on Sunday.
Tottenham face off against Nuno Espirito Santo’s men on Sunday night in the league. Heading into the game, Spurs are sixth in the table whereas Wolves find themselves stationed in the eleventh spot, four points below Mourinho’s men.
The Portuguese manager, however, believes that the Midlands outfit are genuine top-six contenders. When asked whether he considers Wolves as one of the top six clubs, he said: “I believe so.”
Speaking on the competition level in the Premier League, Mourinho insisted that each team was struggling to find consistency currently. He then claimed that Tottenham should be happy to be in the sixth position in the table.
“It is very hard in this league to have a consistent run. Every game is very difficult. We were in a period where he had to play the considered top six teams where we played them in a row. Now people could say you are going to get an easier run of matches. What is easier? Go to Wolves, play Fulham and Aston Villa? It is not easier.”
“This is a league where we are and we should be really happy with that and not sad with that because that is a fantastic league.”

Not long ago, Tottenham were sitting at the top of the table. However, a draw against Crystal Palace and consecutive defeats to Liverpool and Crystal Palace has seen us drop down to sixth.
So, it is important that Mourinho & co. bounce back to winning ways in the Premier League against a Wolves’ unit that will not make things easy.
