"They're 10 years behind Arsenal," Keown told BT Sport.
"The Wembley effect, we did that, and it was never going to be successful for them.
"I don't think Spurs fans should get too far ahead of themselves.
"They have a smaller squad, and that's due to financial constraints.
"They're building a brand-new stadium - we've already heard about that from Arsenal and how restrictive that was.
"So they already have that to contend with."
