Dejan Kulusevski has no qualms about admitting that Tottenham’s eventual goal is to lift the biggest trophies in the sport.
Over the last few weeks, the noises coming out of Hotspur Way have suggested that the players and the coaching staff have their eyes on a much bigger prize than just Champions League qualification.
After Tottenham’s win over Brighton two weeks ago, captain Son Heung-min said that he and his teammates are dreaming of doing ‘something special’ this season (NBC Sports) while Guglielmo Vicario also spoke about achieving ‘something special’ a couple of weeks ago (TNT Sports).
Meanwhile, Ange Postecoglou himself said earlier this month that his side will keep looking to chase down the likes of Liverpool and Manchester City until it is mathematically impossible to do so (Football.London).
Dejan Kulusevski wants Tottenham to become the best
Tottenham’s loss at home to Wolves on Saturday has given a stern reality check to those at Hotspur Way, likely putting to bed any hopes they might have had of chasing down the top three.
However, Kulusevski is not afraid to admit that Spurs’ eventual ambition is to be the best side in the Premier League.
The winger has now told The Sun: “We want to be the best, there is no reason why not we can be the best if we are doing this.
“When we were kids we were all dreaming and then people tell you to stop dreaming, it is nice to try to become more like kids again thinking everything is possible.”
Champions League qualification would be Tottenham’s immediate aim this season and the Swede admitted that he and his teammates to desperate to get back into Europe’s premier club competition.
He added: “It’s the worst thing seeing those games and you are not playing. You try to be positive and with your family. As a player, you want to be on the biggest stage.”
Spurs Web Opinion
While no one expected Tottenham to be able to compete with the likes of Man City this season, that has to be the club’s ultimate aim and it is great to hear that the players are all working towards that grand ambition.
However, it was always going to take some time to get to that level, with Postecoglou potentially needing a couple more transfer windows and more time to get the squad to completely imbibe his ethos.
