Tottenham need to be in the Premier League title race next season, according to their manager.

Ange Postecoglou, who took charge at the start of this term, wants to battle the likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, and Arsenal.

Spurs are involved in a tussle with Aston Villa for fourth place in the Premier League at present.

Postecoglou told The Standard: “I hope so, or why am I doing what I'm doing? That's why I came to the club.

“As somebody said to me last week, 'Just do your job, Ange'.

“And my job is to try to bring success - and if you don't think you're going to be in the title race in 12 months' time, then I don't know why I'm here."
