Alan Shearer has criticized Tottenham Hotspur, who sit bottom of the Premier League despite spending £330 million in the summer transfer window.

Tottenham has spent heavily on Tonali (£100m), Fernandes (£85m), Savio (£85m), Van de Ven (£52m), and Adarabioyo (£7m), yet have managed only 2 points from 5 matches.

Shearer has questioned the quality of Tottenham's new signings, and manager Ange Postecoglou is under pressure to get these players performing.

Shearer told Betfair: "I imagine Postecoglou drew up a list of players he wanted in the summer, and they've spent a lot of money on those players."

"I'm not sure the transfer fees match their ability, but nobody expected them to be bottom of the league."

He added: "I've said it before, Tottenham brought in these players in the summer and they've spent big money on all of them, in my opinion."

"Van de Ven cost a lot, Tonali's fee was staggering, Savio too, and Richarlison is on loan as well. The next three weeks are going to be long for Tottenham. They need to start winning after the international break."

"If they don't start winning soon, bigger problems will follow, or rather, they've already started."

"I still think they have enough quality to avoid relegation. They'll look at Aston Villa's situation and what happened at the start of last season. I remember they didn't win in their first 5 games, but they still recovered and went on to qualify for Europe."

"They'll see that and think there's still a lot of matches left in the season, and that's true, but Tottenham still have a lot of work to do."

"I had them in the top six for this season. Now I'm not sure if that's still possible."
