Mauricio Pochettino has vowed to "improve" Tottenham ahead of next season after recording the club's best top-flight finish since 1963.

Spurs signed off in style on Sunday as the north Londoners put seven goals past Hull City to move onto 86 points.

Pochettino's men finished the campaign with the best goal difference and defensive record, while Harry Kane claimed the Golden Boot courtesy of a 29-goal haul.

Pochettino has plenty of positives to take from his emerging team's achievement but silverware eluded Spurs and the Argentine coach is determined to ensure his side will be ready to go one better next term.

"I’m very proud of our fans and I’d like to say a big thanks and to say as well that we will work very hard to improve the team and try to challenge again next season," Pochettino told Tottenham's official website.

"It’s a big challenge for next season. Our dream and our challenge is to be better than this season.

"Now is a moment to take to decisions, to try to improve and try to provide the team with all the tools to try to win, that’s the challenge for us."

Spurs' pre-season campaign starts in July but they will play a friendly in Hong Kong on Friday before taking time off for the summer.

All of Pochettino's key players will make the trip - barring long-term absentees Danny Rose, Erik Lamela and Harry Winks.

Mousa Dembele has also not been included in the travelling party as the Belgium international will undergo surgery on a foot problem later this week.
