The idea of Tottenham winning a Premier League seems laughable to anyone who doesn’t support the team, but for Jose Mourinho, it is a goal that he sees being realistic.

The Portuguese manager confessed to the press in his pre-match press conference for his debut game in charge of Tottenham via Football London that he believes he can end the club’s 58-year wait for a top-division title with this current Spurs squad.
Can Mourinho one day win us a Premier League title?
Absolutely, he's a winner
No way, we're still Tottenham
The goal might seem ambitious for the majority of Tottenham supporters, but there were some on social media who believed that within a year of Mourinho at the helm and the club giving the former Manchester United man the funds he needs to make new signings that they could be well within a shot of claiming Premier League glory.

Mourinho takes charge of a Tottenham side currently 14th in the Premier League table and without a win in the Premier League since late-September when they beat Southampton 2-1 at home.
