Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to win the Premier League title this season.

Chris Waddle stated that he is confident that Tottenham will finish in third position in the Premier League table this season, when speaking exclusively to BBC Sport.

Spurs ended up in fourth spot in the table last season, but they finished a distant 27 points adrift of league champions Manchester City.

Mauricio Pochettino has made three very good signings this summer in the shape of Giovani Lo Celso, Ryan Sessegnon and Tanguy Ndombele, as well as adding Jack Clarke to his ranks, before loaning him back to Leeds for the season.

And the north London outfit will surely be a lot closer to the top of the table this time around.

Waddle suggested that Tottenham will come up short once again this season, however, when speaking exclusively to BBC Sport:

“Spurs are a very efficient side. I am confident they will finish third but for me this is it – this is the time when they have to start winning silverware.”

Spurs kick off their new campaign with a home game against Aston Villa tomorrow evening.

And Pochettino will be keen for his Tottenham side to hit the ground running, as he looks to guide the north London outfit to their first top flight title since 1961.
