Tottenham defender Van de Ven admits Champions League hopes

Tottenham defender Micky van de Ven wants to qualify for the Champions League.

The center half has made it clear that his team are battling to grab fourth spot in the league.

Spurs are now ahead of Aston Villa on goal difference after the weekend, winning against Nottingham Forest, while Villa drew with Brentford.

Asked if he felt that fifth place was enough, given the likelihood of the Premier League getting an extra Champions League place due to coefficients, he stated: "Of course, you are speaking about it because you know that maybe fifth place is going to be enough.

“But we are not focusing on fifth. We want to be fourth or even higher.

“We just want to make sure that at the end of the season, we don't have to look at how everything went with the list."
