'That says a lot': Tim Sherwood names the three Tottenham players who could play for Man City

Today at 06:15 AM

Tottenham beat Manchester City 4-0 at the weekend in one of the shocks of the season.

Spurs dismantled the champions at the Etihad, extending City's remarkable losing run to five games.

Of course, as the four-in-a-row champions of England, Manchester City are still one of the best teams in the world, and, on paper, when everybody is fit, they're still better than Tottenham.

However, speaking on The Weekend Wrap, Tim Sherwood has claimed that there are three players in the Tottenham team who would now get into the Manchester City squad.

The three Tottenham players who could play for Manchester City

Sherwood was full of praise for Tottenham after this game.

Sherwood spoke highly of Spurs, claiming that Dejan Kulusevski, Heung-Min Son and James Maddison are all good enough to play for Man City.

Kulusevski was incredible against City at the weekend, while Maddison scored twice.

"He (Kulusevski) must be one of the fittest players in the squad. That boy could play for Man City, and so could Son, and that says a lot, probably Maddison could get in their squad as well, you don't say that about many teams,"

Pep Guardiola's praise for Tottenham trio

Sherwood says that Kulusevski, Son and Maddison are all good enough to play for Manchester City, and it's easy to understand why.

All three players were electric at the weekend, while Pep Guardiola is a fan of the Tottenham trio.

Indeed, last season, Guardiola described all three players, alongside Brennan Johnson, as 'fantastic'.

"They are so fast," Guardiola said. "Kulusevski, Maddison, Johnson, Son. They have some fantastic players.

"The runners with Porro and Sarr, they have a lot of weapons and speed behind for defenders. It's an exceptional team, exceptional. We knew we had to suffer."

Manchester City wanted James Maddison before his move to Tottenham, and if Kulusevski keeps up this type of form, it wouldn't be a shock if City came calling too.

Spurs showed on Saturday that they're capable of beating any team on their day, and if they can keep that up, they will be challenging for a place in the Champions League next season.
