Ruud Gullit says Antonio Conte has turned Spurs into ‘"fighters" - and Chelsea now need to take their heavyweight rivals seriously.
The Dutch legend thinks the Italian has rid the north Londoners of their soft underbelly - and believes it’s up to the Blues to prove they can still cut the mustard under new owner Todd Boehly. Gullit still sees Manchester City and Liverpool as contesting the Premier League title, but he believes one club is definitely making progress - and, at the moment, it isn’t Chelsea.
He told Mirror Sport: “To me, Tottenham look a little bit better. Tottenham definitely look better - Chelsea look the same. I think Tottenham are more aware of what they need to do. You need a fighting spirit. That’s what they have.
