New Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino has set himself the goal of guiding Spurs to Premier League glory, once the club adopts a new 'philosophy on the pitch'.

The Argentine replaced Tim Sherwood in the Tottenham dugout back in May, and oversaw his first match in charge on Saturday night; a thrilling 3-3 draw with MLS leaders the Seattle Sounders.

Failure to secure consistent qualification for Champions League football has seen chairman Daniel Levy wield his managerial axe, with the likes of Martin Jol, Harry Redknapp and Andre Villas-Boas all losing their jobs as a result.

But despite high expectation from above, Pochettino is eyeing loftier heights, admitting that he hopes to, eventually, guide Tottenham to their first league title since 1961

"All managers want the best and want to be the best," Pochettino told The Sun. "I knew from the first day I came here that Spurs are a big club.

"My challenge is to win the Premier League... eventually. This is our goal, to win the title one day.

"Our target at the moment is to provide a team capable of creating our philosophy on the pitch. To develop and improve the style of football we want to play."

Tottenham are the only side not to have ventured into the transfer market, as Pochettino wishes to assess his squad before deciding on whether major changes are required.

“We have an unbelievable squad with some unbelievable players," Pochettino continued.

“We need to work to get the players ready to start the season playing with our philosophy.

“This is our only target at the moment. Afterwards we will see.

“Tottenham are expected to play well and win — results are important. And we will target a position later. But for the moment our aim is to get the squad playing the way we want.”

Spurs are expected to complete the signing of Swansea left back, Ben Davies, in the coming days, with the Wales international set to undergo a medical with the north London club.
