Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton says Tottenham fans have to maintain their belief in manager Ange Postecoglou because it takes time to form a successful team.

“Tottenham’s biggest issue is that there are some exceptional teams in the Premier League who have been building for years,” Sutton told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club.

“Mikel Arteta has been at Arsenal for five years and Pep Guardiola at Manchester City eight years and they have been constantly building.

“Postecoglou has not been there that long so it is important they keep the belief in him and let him build.

“There will be bumps in the road as that is really natural.”
