Spurs have defied expectations so far in their first season under the Australian manager.
The Londoners sit top of the Premier League table after ten games, winning eight while remaining unbeaten.
Despite losing Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, Tottenham have rallied to develop one of European football’s most attractive styles.
And they can keep above Arsenal in the title race with a win over fellow enemies Chelsea next week.
Many are now beginning to wonder whether Spurs can go all the way and win the first Premier League title in their history.
But they have superstar backing from one man who is considered a legend by rivals Arsenal.
French boss Wenger won three titles and seven FA Cups during his time with the Gunners.
And although Arsenal currently sit second in the table, just two points off Spurs, he believes it will be Postecoglou’s side leading the charge for the title thanks to the impact of three major players.

Wenger told beIN Sports: “If I said after ten games they’d be top of the league…
“You ask me and it’s not a tricky question because I like to always say what I feel.
“Deeply, I believe Tottenham will be one of the contenders for the league.
“They bought James Maddison, who is a great player. He is that link from low midfield to high midfield and added some technical creativity to the team.
“They bought Micky van de Ven, who I find absolutely exceptional. They had weaknesses there and last season Hugo Lloris didn’t have the best of seasons.
“And the movement from Son Heung-Min into the middle looks very good.”
