Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O’Hara has hit out at his old club, branding some players ‘average’ and ‘like a bunch of spoiled kids’.
O’Hara, who was at White Hart Lane for six years, launched into a passionate tirade about the state of Spurs’ squad following the start of the Premier League campaign.
Jose Mourinho‘s side suffered a 1-0 home defeat by Everton in their opening game of the season on Sunday but have now sealed a sensational return for fan favourite Gareth Bale.

Prior to Bale’s move O’Hara labelled the squad ‘average’ with just forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-min their only ‘world-class’ stars.
He told talkSPORT: ‘They are so stretched, it’s unbelievable. I mean, anyone could play against Spurs!
‘Only two of them are world-class [Kane and Son].
‘You go through that team: Davies, average; Alderweireld, average; Dier, below average; Doherty, just signed, decent; Hojbjerg, average; Winks, decent; Alli, average; Son, brilliant; Kane, brilliant; Lucas Moura, touch and go.
‘The rest of them… They look like a bunch of spoiled kids!
‘Get some leaders and characters in the camp and pull your fingers out; this is Spurs Football Club you are playing for.’

Tottenham’s squad will be fully tested over the coming weeks as they face playing nine games in just 22 days.
