Joshua Onomah says he is aiming to secure a starting berth at Tottenham next season.

The 20-year-old has long been regarded as one of the most promising prospects in Spurs' youth academy but is yet to become a regular under Mauricio Pochettino.

Onomah made a total of 12 senior appearances this season, having been rewarded with a new long-term contract in February 2016.

Competition for places in north London is fierce, with Pochettino expected to strengthen his squad this summer as Spurs prepare to compete in the Champions League group stages for the third time in their history.

Onomah is currently on international duty at the Under-20s World Cup and is hopeful his performances in South Korea can catch his manager's eye.

“Not everybody gets the chance to play at an Under-20s World Cup - but if I can show exactly what I am capable of doing it will obviously help me back at Spurs," he told The Sun.

“I know my manager is watching, and to the fans and everyone who have not seen me yet, I want to show them what I can do.

“Football is all about setting new goals and overcoming challenges. Mine at the moment is to win the World Cup and then step-up at Tottenham and try to become a regular starter.”

The Young Lions topped Group A before securing a quarter-final place on Wednesday afternoon courtesy of a 2-1 victory over Costa Rica.

Onomah has featured prominently for Paul Simpson's side and is in line to start Monday's last-eight tie against Senegal or Mexico.
