Tony Cascarino: 'Jose Mourinho would have won Premier League with Arsenal'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho would have won last season's Premier League title with Arsenal, claims Tony Cascarino.

Former Chelsea player Tony Cascarino has suggested that Arsenal would have won the Premier League had Jose Mourinho been their manager last season.

Mourinho's Chelsea eased to their fourth Premier League title by eight points, while Arsenal finished 12 points behind in third.

Cascarino told Sky Sports News: "I believe that if Mourinho was manager of Arsenal, he'd have won the league. Likewise with Man City. That's the quality he brings. John Terry said Petr Cech are worth 15 points. Maybe so. Mourinho is worth more than that to Chelsea.

"We saw two Chelsea sides in the season. We saw a very entertaining one and then, when it got tight, they became tight and didn't give too much away. That's to do with the manager.

"How did they win the league? By being tactically brilliant. It's no coincidence that in the last two years, none of their major rivals have been able to beat them. That's a massive disadvantage for them; he's hurting every one of his rivals every time they play."

Chelsea start the defence of their title against Swansea City on August 8.
