Kyle Walker feels Tottenham need to keep top players like Luka Modric and Gareth Bale this summer to have a realistic chance of challenging for top honours next season. "I think it's vital (we keep them)," the full back said.

"The chairman showed last season that we are not a selling club. "We can challenge next year for the title, definitely. We will be up there.

"We can achieve anything with the squad we have got. When I look around the changing room there's Gareth, Aaron Lennon, Rafa van der Vaart, Emmanuel Adebayor and even the likes of Louis Saha, Brad Friedel. There are world-class players there, experienced heads and they have helped me a lot this season.

"It's only upwards for Tottenham."
