Nacer Chadli has challenged Tottenham to end their agonising wait for a trophy and their long absence from Champions League football next season.

Spurs have not won any silverware since the 2008 League Cup and last played in Europe’s top club competition in 2011.

They came within touching distance of lifting the Capital One Cup last season, losing the final to Chelsea, and missed out on a top-four finish by one place.

Belgium winger Chadli, who enjoyed an impressive campaign with 13 goals, is urging his team-mates to go one better next term.

He said: “Personally, I want to do better than last season and I know I can do it.

“As a team, I want us to win trophies and reach the top four. That’s the target. We learned a lot last season.

“We had positives, reached the final of the League Cup and had some nice wins to remember with some last-minute goals. There are a lot of things to remember and we can take those positives into the new season.

“I can feel that the group is still improving and I think next season will be better.”

Fending off interest from Manchester United to keep hold of star men Hugo Lloris and Harry Kane will be key.

And Pochettino has a long list of players he wants to offload to make room in his squad for his own signings.

Spurs have already snapped up Austria centre-back Kevin Wimmer from Cologne and Burnley’s £3.5million right-back Kieran Trippier is set to be the next arrival.

Clarets boss Sean Dyche said: “It’s not quite there but it’s an active deal, so we’ll see how it comes out.

“Kieran has been a fantastic servant to both the club and myself, he was excellent in his mindset last season, he signed a contract after promotion from the ­Championship and he wanted to experience the Premier League.

“We have made sure that we respected him in that if we didn’t stay in Premier League and he had an option or a chance to go to another club – that is what seems is going to happen.”
