Tottenham Hotspur came closer than any other team the runaway title to stop Premier League Leicester City last season to win.
Overcoming a slow start, in which only three points are collected from the first four games, the Spurs were two wins to grab the head of the championship race, but faltered in the final stages. The Tale of foxes.
Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino was to design recovery and to play tracks to build inclination to the best midfielder in the Premier League.
The perfectly balanced trio of Moussa Dembele, Eric Dier and Dele Alli dominated midfield of division of the first day. While the campaign began with a defeat at Old Trafford, there was no doubt that Manchester United boasted and expensive midfield dominated mounted.
Spurs finished defending equal villain in the league and the second most prolific attack.
The arrival of Toby Alderweireld and the impressive form of Harry Kane were associated with these services, but the truth was the strength of Tottenham midfielder, made it possible.
Spurs now have strengthened this position with the arrival of Kenyan midfielder Victor Wanyama from Southampton. The club confirmed the signing on Thursday night after a strange public transmission. The player himself was taken with the words, the case cited Soka25east.com during a visit last week to a prison in Kenya.
Christopher Lee / Getty Images Spurs have real needs in other areas of the field, namely to find a backup striker Kane, it may seem strange that his first signing in a region of great strength comes.
In fact, this agreement Wanyama Dembele underlines the recognition of the importance of controlling the midfield. Not the same as a replacement or as a coating of a member of the current team Pochettino Spurs is, but it is a different type of player. Stronger, more aggressive decoding and with an energy comparable to the inexhaustible Alli tackler, the arrival of Kenya Pochettino has more tactical flexibility.
The boundaries of the reservation options Tottenham were painfully obvious when Dembele for the last two games last season and Ryan Mason has been named in his role was exposed. The defeats against Southampton and Newcastle United, which highlighted followed, the fragility of the team. This is no longer the case.
Spurs had covered also a problem with the points after taking the head last season. Be introduced with available Wanyama from the bank, this problem should be reduced.
If the opposition can - to be Chelsea Antonio Conte, should be a strong means to comparable Wanyama could be added to the starting line balance to ensure is held for the Spurs.
It should not endanger, to facilitate the occurrence of decoding as a defensive midfielder before -eminent the Premier League.
Any observer of the campaign at the European Championship in England will know Dier shone in his role as both the shield and the bottom line ancestor of many attacks. At the age of 22 years old, he played 51 times for Spurs last season and won 10 caps for England debut in November last year. This is an unsustainable rate for a player in a demanding role.
Pochettino insists rotation, but obviously was of the possibilities that it underwhelmed. Wanyama company reduces the burden of decoding and should otherwise help inevitable exhaustion to avoid.
Wanyama disciplinary matters may seem questionable. He was defeated in the last season of the Premier League three times, but this was something of an aberration. In none of his previous seasons in English football yet he received a red card, and then was sent twice in two years at Celtic.
Mike Hewitt / Getty Images Part of the problem Wanyama last season was the lack of partner Morgan Schneiderlin, who was sold to Manchester United midfielder last summer.
With Dembele Dier and beside him Wanyama can be expected relatively intact on a Tottenham back.
Wanyama is his former boss Ronald Koeman Southampton, now Director Everton will face in the opening match of the new season, when the next chief begins at Goodison Park.
It will be more strength, endurance and tactical flexibility the Spurs. This will make it more difficult to hit and to gain more likely. Pochettino permits can only add to its quality without sacrificing quality and leadership in the field longer rotate freely.
